Fisher Zero Gravity Space Pen
 - 3 customer reviews.
How many times have you reached into your flight bag or kneeboard during a
flight only to find the ink has dried or the pen no longer working? This
happens even more frequently the higher altitudes that you fly. The Fisher
Space Pen is your solution to always having a working writing instrument during
flight and on the ground.
Unlike ordinary ball pens which rely on gravity to feed ink, the replaceable
Space Pen cartridge is pressurized. At nearly 35 pounds per square inch, ink is
continuously fed to the tungsten carbide ball, allowing the user to write at any
angle, even upside down. This advanced technology required Fisher Space Pen Co
to develop a new and special ink.
And they did. The new visco-elastic, thixotropic ink, with a consistency
similar to that of very thick rubber cement, flows as a result of the shearing
action of the rolling ball in its socket. This shearing action liquefies the
solid gel thixotropic ink, allowing the pen to write smoothly and dependably on
the most surfaces and even underwater.
Evaporation, wasted ink and back leakage are eliminated. The estimated
shelf-life of these pens is over 100 years.
- Writes from -30º to 250º F

by Durk from Bay City, MI
Review: I first purchased a Fisher Space-Tec Retractable Space Pen. I was impressed, but I wanted a more hefty ink pen for filling logs at work. So I ordered the Fisher Zero Gravity Space Pen in Silver. I really think it's the coolest pen I've ever owned. Also I wouldn't hesitate recommending people to MyPilotStore.com. The buying process was easy and shipping was FAST.

Works well in many conditions
by Stephanie from Northwestern US
Pros: Writes well in all conditions.
Cons: Are there any?
Review: I work in and around aircraft, in all weather conditions, and orientations, taking notes about the aircraft I am inspecting. This pen never misses a beat. The easy click on/click off can be operated with a single hand. It doesn't seem to be affected by wet paper, which is nice for working in the northwest where rain is the norm. It still looks interesting enough to catch peoples' eyes during meetings. It met my expectations and then some.

On Sunday, December 14, 2008 a customer asked:
Q: how was the space pen originally used on space ????
A:
In 1968 Fisher Space pens were first used on Apollo 7 after two years of testing by NASA.
The space race was on, and the astronauts involved in the Mercury and Gemini missions had been using pencils to take notes in space since standard ball points did not work in zero gravity. The Fisher cartridge did work in the weightlessness of outer space and the astronauts, beginning with the October, 1968 Apollo 7 mission began using the Fisher AG-7 Space Pen and cartridge developed in 1966.
