Georgy Langemak
Georgy Erikhovich Langemak (Russian: Георгий Эрихович Лангемак; 8 July [O.S. 26 June] 1898 – 11 January 1938) was a Soviet engineer in the Soviet space program, working on rocket design applications. He is chiefly remembered for being the co-designer and directing the development of the aircraft unguided rockets, such as the RS-82 and RS-132, which were modified to be used with such success in the Katyusha rocket launchers of World War II. The crater Langemak on the Moon is named in his honor.
