The history of the Fisher Space Pen

During the early NASA missions, astronauts used pencils. For the Gemini project, NASA purchased 34 mechanical pencils at a total cost of $4,382.50 – or $128.89 each. This drew widespread criticism, and NASA began to look for alternatives.

At the same time, Paul S. Fisher of Fisher Pen Co. developed a ballpoint pen with a pressurised ink cartridge. It worked in zero gravity, underwater, in liquids and at temperatures ranging from -34°C to +120°C. The company invested around 1 million US dollars from its own funds, without any funding from NASA, and subsequently patented the product.

In 1967, following rigorous testing, NASA equipped the Apollo mission astronauts with these pens. Around 400 were purchased at a price of US$6 each. In February 1969, the Soviet Union also purchased 100 pens and 1,000 refills for the Soyuz missions. To this day, both American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts use Fisher Space Pens.

What is the history of the Fisher Space Pen and its connection to NASA?

During the early space missions, NASA astronauts used pencils, which proved to be an expensive and inconvenient solution. Paul S. Fisher of Fisher Pen Co. developed a pressurised ink pen without funding from NASA, with the company investing around $1 million of its own funds. Following rigorous testing, in 1967 NASA equipped the astronauts on the Apollo mission with these pens. Around 400 were purchased at a price of $6 each. In 1969, the Soviet Union also purchased 100 pens for the Soyuz missions. To this day, cosmonauts from both countries use the Fisher Space Pen.
