Nomenclature
- Named for Georgy Erikhovich Langemak (June 26, 1898 – January 11, 1938), a Soviet rocket designer of Swedish background. He is chiefly remembered for being the co-designer (with Sergei Korolev) and directing the development of the Katyusha rocket launcher that was used with such success during World War II.
- Langemak was among the long list of farside names approved by the IAU in 1970 and published in Menzel, 1971.
- In the planning for Apollo 8, the first manned circumlunar mission (1968), this crater (which did not then have an official name) was referred to informally as "Armstrong", a name presently in use for a completely different nearside crater (see: Phil Stooke's LPOD). Langemak N, immediately south of Langemak, was informally known as "Aldrin", again a name that is presently used to designate a completely different nearside crater.
