Forget still flags – China’s upcoming Chang'e-7 lunar mission will make history by creating the first fluttering flag on the moon’s surface, blending science with student creativity! 🌟 The mission, set for launch by 2026, will deploy an educational payload inspired by elementary schoolers from Hunan Province.
But how do you make fabric \"wave\" in an airless environment? Scientists are using electromagnetic interactions – think alternating currents through wires in the flag to generate magnetic motion. 🧲⚡ \"This isn’t just about tech – it’s about sparking young imaginations,\" said DSEL’s Zhang Tianzhu.
Chang'e-7 will also hunt for water ice at the moon’s south pole and carry scientific instruments from six countries and an international org. Proving space exploration is a global team sport! 🌍🔭
Move over, static moon flags – this innovation could redefine how future generations connect with space missions. Who’s ready for the ultimate cosmic TikTok moment? 🚀📱
