When astronauts started to explore the reaches of outer space, Paul C. Fisher realized that no existing writing pen could perform in its zero-gravity vacuum and temperature extremes. His common sense approach and practical experiments resulted in the invention of the sealed-pressurized Fisher AG-7 "Anti-Gravity" Space Pen (also known as "Fisher Zero Gravity Pens"). After rigorous testing, NASA selected the Fisher Zero Gravity Pens for use on all of the Apollo missions. Since the Apollo 7 space mission in 1968 (an eleven-day Earth-orbital mission, the first manned launch of the Apollo program), the Fisher Zero Gravity Pens are still used today on all NASA Apollo and Shuttle missions, ISS International Space Station, Russian Soyuz and MIR space flights, French ARIANE Space Program, Everest North Face Ski Expedition.
Everyone who is looking for a writing instrument that works anytime, anywhere, needs a Fisher Space Pen!
The Original Astronaut Fisher Space Pen you buy today is exactly the same as the one taken to the moon on the Apollo 11 space mission in 1969 and also saved the mission. The Fisher AG-7 "Anti-Gravity" Space Pen, made in the USA from solid brass and steel components of the highest quality, is a heavy pen and the weight rests reassuringly in your hand as you write. Original Astronaut Fisher Space Pens are attractively packaged in heavy duty gift boxes with flock lining and come with a pamphlet describing the history of the Fisher Space Pen.
Developed for NASA and unconditionally guaranteed to have the same superior writing quality and dependability found in every Fisher Space Pen, Original Astronaut Fisher Space Pen writes dependably underwater, over grease, in extreme temperatures, even upside down! Fisher's special inks and Precision, stainless steel tungsten-carbide ballpoints allow the pens to write longer, cleaner and more consistently. In addition to being durable the Fisher Space Pens write cleaner, more consistently and are also attractive and have been displayed in the New York Museum of Modern Art - cited as an outstanding example of industrial art.
Of course, even if you don't have to go to the Moon, you can still enjoy the quality and durability of the Fisher Pens!

| Notes | History of the Fisher Space Pen Paul Fisher developed the Fisher Space Pen almost 40 years ago during a time when the "race for space" was being fought. When astronauts began to fly they used ordinary pencils. The lead of these pencils could easily brake off causing dangerous situations when they floated around in the gravity-less space cabin. A safer and more reliable writing instrument was needed, the Fisher Space Pen. More than two million dollars went into the development of the Fisher Space Pen and in 1965 Paul Fisher successfully developed the first pressurized Fisher Space Pens. Ordinary ball pens rely on gravity to feed the ink and have an opening to allow air to replace ink as it is used. But there is no hole in the hermetically sealed and pressurized Space Pens. Evaporation, wasted ink and back leakage are eliminated. Shelf life is increased from a normal two years to an estimated 100 years. Your Fisher Space Pen is unconditionally guaranteed to give you good, satisfactory service both here on Earth and in Space. A good story about the of the AG-7 Fisher Space Pen In 1969, during the Apollo 11 flight, the astronauts were on the moon for the first time and the AG-7 Original Astronaut Fisher Space Pen did save the mission! What happened was that one of the astronauts' backpacks had collided with the plastic arming switch used to start the jets to blast off from the moon. The astronauts were in the lunar lander and they had already discarded the tools onto the lunar surface, they had closed and sealed the hatch and re-pressurized the space craft. They found out that they couldn't throw the arming switch! They had no tools and they couldn't figure out how to start the lander! They called the engineers back at Mission Control. Mission Control called Grumman Aircraft and one of the electricians on Earth figured out that if he took the Fisher Space Pen (the Fisher Space Pen zero gravity, the AG-7 zero gravity pen) which was in his pocket, and if he retracted the point, he was able to use the pen casing to throw the switch. The Engineer told this to Grumman, they called Mission Control, and Mission Control told the guys on the moon, and it worked! |
