The flag will be made of nylone, size 3- by 5 feet on a staff 8 feet long. During flight it will be stowed in two 4-foot sections strapped to the Lunar Module ladder. Armstrong's first assignment after stepping off the ladder is to pull a "D" ring to start a television camera. The second assignment is to erect the U.S. flag. The flag will appear to be flying in a breeze. This is done with a spring-loaded wire in the nylon cloth. With everything is working normally, this will be observed on live television. {highres} 2234 x 2735 {highsize} 713361 {hightype} JPEG {lowres} 196 x 240 {lowsize} 65246 {lowtype} GIF {mediumres} 627 x 768 {mediumsize} 97530 {mediumtype} JPEG {number} 69-H-974 {slideres} 124 x 156 {slidesize} 28114 {slidetype} GIF {tinyres} 82 x 100 {tinysize} 11621 {tinytype} GIF {title} Artist's rendering of astronaut Neil Armstrong planting U.S. flag on Moon {type} Image {end}
