Space Pen

The Space Pen (also known as the Zero Gravity Pen), marketed by Fisher Space Pen Company, is a pen that uses pressurized ink cartridges and is claimed to write in zero gravity, underwater, over wet and greasy paper, at any angle, and in very wide temperature range.

The Fisher Space Pen was invented by American industrialist and pen manufacturer Paul C. Fisher and is manufactured in Boulder City, Nevada, United States of America. Paul C. Fisher first patented the AG7 "anti gravity" pen in 1965. Pens claiming some or all of the same abilities have also appeared on the market from other manufacturers.

Famous quotes containing the words space and/or pen:

    I take SPACE to be the central fact to man born in America.... I spell it large because it comes large here. Large and without mercy.
    Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    With this pen I take in hand my selves
    and with these dead disciples I will grapple.
    Though rain curses the window
    let the poem be made.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
