There are six U.S. flags on the moon planted by the Apollo astronauts (Apollo
11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17). I don't believe any of the unmanned U.S. probes
have planted flags.

In 1992, I gave a paper at the NAVA meeting in San Antonio entitled "Where No
Flag Has Gone Before: Political and Technical Aspects of Placing a Flag on the
Moon" [pff94a].
NASA has since published the paper as a contractor report (NASA CR-188251) [pff92b].
The NASA version
of the paper includes some of the engineering drawings for the lunar flag
assembly. A shortened version of this paper was published on an American space
magazine called "Final Frontier," July/August 1994 issue, pages 94-95 [pff94].

The Huffington Post, lunar scientists say the verdict is in from the latest photos of the moon taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC): Most
[flags] do, in fact, still stand.
