SPS-600SH-Fred Gregory - Astronaut Signature Pen Series

The Astronaut Signature Pen Series, an Agency exclusive collaboration with Fisher Space Pen Co.™ and Uniphi Space Agency, a division of Uniphi Good LLC, features a diverse range of pen styles and charity partners, all personally selected by each participating Astronaut. Each Special Edition pen has an engraved Astronaut signature, as well as an Astronaut and charity specific card inside each pen box. 5% of the retail price for each “Astronaut Signature Pen” will benefit the selected charity.

This collaboration was created to support the first ever National Astronaut Day which commences May 5, 2016 and will take place annually from this day forth.  In keeping with the tradition of other Astronaut and Space related celebrations, May 5 was selected for this significant date in history in 1961 when Astronaut Alan Bartlett Shepard Jr. became the First American in Space, aboard the Freedom 7 Space capsule.  The brief suborbital flight, which lasted 15 minutes and reached a height of 116 miles into the atmosphere, was a milestone achievement. This trailblazing example of heroic bravery and adventurous spirit is the essence of what National Astronaut Day is all about.  By sharing the incredible stories, experiences, and perspectives of actual Astronauts, the mission of National Astronaut Day is to inspire us ALL to follow our dreams, including both future Astronauts and those who seek to keep our feet on the ground alike!
