One of the most questions that people ask about traveling to the moon is: “Can I see the flag that astronauts have put on the moon?” This question leads to the discussion of the moon’s distance and the difficulty of seeing a flag of 1.5 x 2.5 meters. Telescopes are very strong; But they can never see such a very small object from a very vast distance.
During the US Apollo program, six manned missions landed on the moon, which began with Apollo 2 in year 2. Each mission to Apollo puts their flags on the moon. China has now announced that another flag will join the lunar flag as the end of the year, when Changi 1 moves to the moon.
Details of China’s new program
The Chinese lunar flag is designed to be able to move on a surface without the moon, unlike American flags. This creative idea was presented by elementary students in Changsha, China’s Hunan province.
The flag has rings that are embedded in the texture and move wave using magnetic currents and electromagnetic interactions. This innovation not only represents the creativity and initiative of youth, but can also be a symbol of human efforts to explore space and advancement of science and technology.
China’s goal is to raise the flag on the moon, to inspire students and to challenge them.
“We know that the moon has no air, so it is difficult to raise the flag in the way we see on the ground,” said Zhang Tianzhou, deputy director of the Future Technology Institute. “The initiative is designed to increase the understanding of the young students about the Chinese space program and inspire their interest in pursuing space discoveries in the future.”

The Chang 3 is designed to conduct some serious scientific research. The mission is set to land near the edge of the “Shaklton” crater in the Antarctic area of ​​the moon. The always -shaded surface of this crater is of particular importance; Because it is thought to contain the ice. The mission will also bring six tools from six different countries, including a small skill and telescope built by the Hawaii International Observatory (ILA).
