  • China plans to send a flag that flutters on the moon as part of its Chang'e 7 mission in 2026. Engineers will use electromagnetic technology to replicate the effect in the moon's atmosphere. This initiative complements broader plans for a permanent lunar research station by 2035.

The article discusses China's ambitious Chang'e-7 mission, which aims to explore the lunar south pole, a region believed to harbor water ice. Scheduled for launch in 2026, the mission will deploy a lander, a rover, a relay satellite, and a hopping probe to conduct detailed scientific investigations. One of the mission's highlights includes planting a fluttering flag on the Moon, symbolizing China's growing prowess in space exploration. This flag, designed to wave in the Moon's vacuum, will be part of a broader effort to showcase technological advancements and national pride. The mission not only focuses on scientific discovery but also on demonstrating capabilities in lunar exploration, potentially paving the way for future manned missions and establishing a long-term human presence on the Moon.
