Fisher Space Pens

The Fisher Space Pen is the space pen; the only pen ever to be used in space.

The AG-7 'Astronaut' space pen was first used on the NASA Apollo 7 mission in 1967, is the only pen that has been to the moon, and is still used today by all American Astronauts, Russian Cosmonauts, European and International Space projects.

Fisher produces a range of space pens all built around the Fisher pressurized refill. The refills uses a thixotropic ink which remains solid until 'stirred' by the ballpoint, a nitrogen gas plug ensures a steady flow of ink at any angle, even upside down, the pen is not reliant on gravity to draw the ink from the pen.

Fisher space pens write on glossy surface such as plastics and coated papers, they even write through grease and underwater. Fisher pens are capable of writing at extreme temperatures from -50 degrees F (-35 C) to +400 degrees F (121 C).

Fisher Space Pen has become the pen of choice for the United States air force, law enforcement agencies, undersea explorers, mountain climbing expeditions, ski and snowboard teams or anyone else demanding a high degree of reliability from the equipment they select.
