Fisher Space Pens

The Fisher Space Pen was born from one of the greatest challenges in space exploration: how to write in the most unforgiving environment known to man.
In the early 1960s, following the tragic Apollo 1 fire that claimed the lives of three astronauts, NASA required a writing instrument that would not ignite in a 100% oxygen atmosphere, nor suffer from the common failings of ballpoint pens such as leakage, drying out, or malfunction in zero gravity.
