Anatoly Pavlovich Artsebarsky (Russian
language|Russian:
Анатоли&
#1081;
Павлови&
#1095;
Арцебар&
#1089;кий; born September 9,
1956) is a Ukraine|Ukrainianian cosmonaut.

He became a cosmonaut in 1985. He has spent over
145 days in space on a single spaceflight. In
1991, Artsebarsky flew aboard Soyuz TM-12. The
crew docked with the Soviet Mir Space Station.
Artsebarsky and a fellow cosmonaut stayed aboard
Mir while the rest of the crew flew back to Earth
after 8 days. Artsebarsky took six spacewalks
during this mission. He spent over 33 hours
walking in space. 

During his stay, Artsebarsky constructed a space
tower for use with a control module. Artsebarsky
and his fellow cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev were
almost stuck at the station. They were in orbit
during the Soviet coup attempt of 1991. For
several days, the political situation jeopardised
their position greatly.
