Trained as a test pilot and selected as a cosmonaut on 12 July 1980, Levchenko was planned to be the back-up commander of the first Buran space shuttle flight.

In March 1987, Levchenko began extensive training for a Soyuz spaceflight, intended to give him some experience in space. Read more on Wikipedia
