Artist's Concept: Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, after stepping onto the lunar surface, will plant the United States flag in its soil. 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. 1969-07-06 69-H-974 NASA Kennedy Space Center NASA-KSC http://images.ksc.nasa.gov/ http://images.ksc.nasa.gov/photos/1969/thumb/69-H-974.gif GIF 82 100 11621 http://images.ksc.nasa.gov/photos/1969/low/69-H-974.gif GIF 196 240 65246 http://images.ksc.nasa.gov/photos/1969/medium/69-H-974.jpg JPEG 627 768 97530 http://images.ksc.nasa.gov/photos/1969/high/69-H-974.jpg JPEG 2234 2735 713361
