Fisher Space Pen – Original Astronaut

Description:

Fisher Space Pen is perhaps one of the most iconic pen made in the U.S. It goes back to the era of space exploration, where Paul Fisher, the founder and the inventor of the company, found a way to make pen writes in zero gravity and other extreme environment.

The original Bullet Space Pen was conceived in July of 1948 by Paul Fisher. Cited as an outstanding example of industrial art, the classic design of the Fisher Bullet Pen has a place in the permanent collection in the New York Museum of Modern Art. The Bullet's timeless styling has been the topic of many art books and magazine articles. Often imitated but never duplicated, the Fisher Bullet Space Pen continues to be our most popular pen.

Fisher Space Pen - Original Astronaut is the model that was used on the Apollo 7 space mission in 1968 after 2 years of testing by NASA, and has been used on all manned space flights since then.

The pen writes nice. The refill pushes the ink out smoothly, and because of the design of the tip, you can write in a wider range than typical finer tip pens. We also like the finish of this particular style. Matte blank, simple, portable with a slight weight.
