China is planning to send a flag that can flutter in the moon's thin atmosphere as part of its Chang'e 7 lunar exploration mission.

Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all ages. Research work on building China's Chang'e 7 lunar exploration mission includes sending a flag that can flutter in the moon's thin and tenuous atmosphere.

That lab was co-established by the China National Space Administration and the University of Science and Technology of China and began operations in June 2022. It is headquartered in Hefei, the capital city of Anhui, and has a branch in Beijing. Zhang said the flag-fluttering solution is based on arranging closed loop wires on the surface of the flag with access to two-way positive and negative current, which will 'make the flag flutter through the interaction of electromagnetic fields.' The lunar lander is set to find traces of water ice at the moon's south pole around 2026. If successful, the deployed flag will be the first to actually flutter on the lunar surface. 'Now, in order to complete the development of our popular science test payload in February, we are motivated and divided into different groups to advance this task,' Zhang told China Central Television (CCTV). Our goal is to establish a sustainable and scalable comprehensive scientific experimental facility on the lunar surface and in lunar orbit, capable of long-term autonomous operation and short-term human participation, and to basically build an International Lunar Research Station by around 2035,' said Zhang.
