FISHER SPACE PEN BULLET LACQUERED SHINY BLACK
FISHER SPACE PEN SHINY BLACK BULLET PEN
The Fisher Space Pen will write :
* in extreme cold conditions from -20 C
* in extreme hot conditions to +200 C
* in the gravity-free vacuum of space
Conventional ball point cartridges are open to permit ink flow. With Fisher Space Pens, the ink is unique and the pen itself is manufactured to high precision tolerances. The unique ink is fed to the ball point by gas pressure permitting the pen to write in any position. An additional benefit of the closed design is that it keeps the pen from drying out giving the Fisher Space Pen an estimated 100 year shelf life

Exhibited in the New York Museum of Modern Art as an outstanding example of industrial design. Seen in the Guinness World Records as "Most Versatile Pen".
In the 1950's there were dozens of ballpoint models with different refill cartridges. In 1953 Fisher invented the "Universal Refill" which could be used in most pens.
Fisher's development couldn't have come at a more opportune time. The space race was on, and the astronauts involved in the Mercury and Gemini missions had been using pencils to take notes in space since standard ball points did not work in zero gravity.
The Fisher cartridge did work in the weightlessness of outer space and the astronauts, beginning with the October, 1968 Apollo 7 mission began using the Fisher AG-7 Space Pen and cartridge developed in 1966.
