History of the Fisher Space Pen

During the early NASA missions, astronauts used mechanical pencils. For the Gemini project in 1965, NASA purchased 34 mechanical pencils for a total of $4,382.50—about $128.89 each. This caused public outcry, and the agency began looking for alternatives.

Around the same time, Paul S. Fisher of Fisher Pen Co. developed a pen designed specifically for space. The new pen worked in zero gravity, underwater, and at temperatures ranging from -34°C to +120°C.

Fisher financed the development entirely with his own funds—about 1 million U.S. dollars—without any support from NASA. After patenting the product, the company offered it to the agency in 1965. In 1967, following rigorous testing, NASA officials agreed to equip the Apollo program astronauts with these pens.

Approximately 400 ballpoint pens were purchased from Fisher at a price of $6 each for the Apollo program. In February 1969, the Soviet Union also purchased 100 ballpoint pens and 1,000 refills for the Soyuz spaceflights. Both American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts continue to use them to this day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Fisher Space Pen different from an ordinary ballpoint pen?

The Fisher Space Pen uses thixotropic ink, which is solid in its normal state and liquefies only when writing.

In addition, the ink lasts up to three times longer than standard ink.

How big is the pen, and is it easy to carry?

When retracted, the pen is only 9.5 cm long, and when extended, it is 13.3 cm long. It weighs 19 g. These dimensions make it extremely compact. It fits easily into a wallet, organizer, shirt pocket, or small bag. The 400BRCCL model also features a clip for attaching it to a notebook or pocket.
