The Apollo 11 Moon landing and subsequent moon landings by the Americans have used a cloth flag with an aluminium post and support arm.
The support arm suspends the flag horizontally. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon if it didn't the flag would always be seen furled.

American Flag
Is there a Michigan Flag on the moon?
No. If you look at the moon with the naked eye on Earth, you see craters that look very small. However, the craters are very large, and larger than the American flag Neil Armstrong placed. Because the size difference from Earth effects the size of the craters from the naked eye, you would not be able to see the flag. In fact, from the moon looking back to earth, you can see no man-made structures at all. The distance is too far. Also, the flag was knocked flat by the force of the lunar module's take-off from the surface.
