History of the Fisher Space Pen

During NASA's early missions, astronauts used pencils. In 1965, mechanical pencils costing about $129 each were purchased for the Gemini program, which caused public outcry.

Paul S. Fisher of Fisher Pen Co. developed a ballpoint pen with a pressurized ink cartridge without funding from NASA. The company invested about $1 million of its own funds, patented the product, and brought it to market.

In 1967, after rigorous testing, NASA equipped the Apollo mission astronauts with these pens. Approximately 400 pens were purchased at a price of $6 each. In February 1969, the Soviet Union also purchased 100 pens and 1,000 refills for the Soyuz spaceflights. To this day, astronauts and cosmonauts continue to use the Fisher Space Pen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Fisher Space Pen Tradesman fluorescent yellow?

The fluorescent yellow coating has been specially selected for workplace conditions. The pen is visible from a distance of up to 30 meters, making it easy to spot on the job site, in a truck, or in a toolbox. This way, you don’t waste valuable work time looking for a pen.

How does the Cap-O-Matic mechanism work?

The Cap-O-Matic mechanism allows you to activate the pen with one hand. A single press is all it takes to release the nib. This is especially convenient when wearing gloves or when one hand is occupied. The same principle is used in Fisher’s original space pen.

Under what conditions does the Fisher Space Pen Tradesman write?

The pen writes reliably at extreme temperatures ranging from -34°C to +120°C, underwater, in zero gravity, and at any angle—including upside down. The ink is thixotropic: it has a thicker consistency when at rest, but liquefies when writing. The cartridge contains a pressurized nitrogen gas cartridge that ensures a constant flow of ink.

How long does the Fisher Space Pen refill last?

The Fisher SPR4 refill lasts up to three times longer than regular ink. The ink is hermetically sealed and does not dry out. The pen does not skip or leak, making it extremely economical in the long run.

What cartridges are compatible with the M4TMY model?

The Fisher Space Pen Tradesman M4TMY is compatible with cartridges from the SPR Cartridge series. The set includes a black Fisher SPR4 cartridge with a medium line width. When it runs out, you can easily replace the cartridge with another one from the same series.
