The original astronaut pen

There is only one real astronaut pen, the Fisher pen. This fine writing instrument was created specifically with the space program in mind and then evaluated for two years by NASA before they placed in on the Apollo 7 mission in October, 1968. Believe it or not, pencils were actually considered a hazard because broken points would float through the cabins in the zero gravity environment and there were combustibility concerns in the oxygen rich atmosphere. The original astronaut pen, now known as the AG7, is still available and has been joined with the bullet pen, and many more models that employ the same innovative ideas and ink pen refills. OF course, they can all be found on Fisherspacepenstore.com.

The Fisher AG11 Apollo 11 pen commemorates the historic moon landing. It is the classic AG7 design, featuring the pressurized ink cartridge and side button action, engraved with an image of the landing. This is the perfect gift for any space enthusiast. After all, it is the pen that went to the moon! The Fisher AG11 Apollo 11 pen is only one of the commemorative pens available or, if you prefer, space pens can be engraved.
