Space Pen
Shiny Black Bullet Space Pen
Product Description
In the 1960's, after much experimentation Paul Fisher perfected a pen refill using thixotropic ink, which stays semisolid until the shearing action of the rolling ball liquefies it, so that only flows when needed. The cartridge was pressurized with nitrogen so that it didn't rely on gravity to make it work, so it was dependable in freezing cold and desert heat. It could also write underwater and upside down. It even works in space! The astronauts on the Apollo 7 mission used the Fisher® AG-7.
The original Bullet Space Pen was conceived in July of 1948. Paul Fisher was soon machining a new pen design shaped from solid aluminum. It became our first Fisher ball point pen, the 400 Bullet Pen, and arguably the most popular pen of the twentieth century.
