- The dark [/lacus lacus]-like region on the floor of Langemak was frequently photographed during the mission of Apollo 8. One of these photographs is AS8-17-2744, which was made during typical "shadowless-circumstances" (very high sun).

- 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%2C%201971 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 [/Armstrong 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 [/Aldrin different] nearside crater.
