Storyline


China's Chang'e-5 probe successfully unfurled the Chinese national flag on the lunar surface after completing sampling on the moon, and it will be a grand reminder for stargazers from all over the world to share the excitement and inspiration of the Chinese people.

The images were taken by a panoramic camera installed on the lander-ascender combination of the probe, before the ascender blasted off from the moon with lunar samples late Thursday.

This is the national flag once again displayed on the moon after Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-4 missions. However, different from the first two missions when the national flag was painted on the landers, Chang'e-5 unfurled the real red five-star flag on a flagpole, which marks the first dynamic display of Chinese national flag on the lunar surface.

Though the flag-raising ceremony lasted only a second, the scientific research personnel have spent months of efforts in developing the flag-raising mechanism and the flag.

"The function of the flag-unfolding mechanism during the process is to raise the flag to a certain height and position where our panorama camera can take picture of the entire national flag with ample of elements, such as the national flag on the lunar surface, the probe, the Earth and some part of the surface of the Moon," said Li Yunfeng, deputy director of the Quality and Technology Department under China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).

In addition, the technicians spent a whole year researching and developing the flag made of domestic special materials that can withstand the harsh space environment, and weighs only 12g.

Moreover, to make sure that all parts of the mechanism function well on the moon, their metal surfaces were covered with special coating for protection.

"It was folded itself, and to ensure absolute safety, we treated the fitting condition of the mechanism's surface by using cold-resistant welding, which is a newly developed technology," said Li.
