History of the Fisher Space Pen

During NASA’s early missions, astronauts used pencils. For the Gemini project, NASA purchased mechanical pencils in 1965 at a cost of $128.89 each. This sparked public outcry, and the agency began looking for alternatives.

Paul S. Fisher of Fisher Pen Co. developed a pen that works in the unique environment of space. He did so without funding from NASA; the company invested about $1 million of its own funds. After patenting and launching the product, Fisher offered the pens to NASA in 1965.

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