In 1967, after over two years of
rigorous testing by NASA, the Fisher Space Pen was officially selected for use
by the Astronauts of Apollo 7 and has been used on all manned space flights since.
The Shuttle Space Pen is the latest installment to our Astronaut pen line and
was introduced during the Space Shuttle Program as a light-weight alternative
to the original AG7 ‘Anti-Gravity Pen’, which was first patented by Paul C.
Fisher in 1965. The Shuttle Pen is currently used in space on the International Space Station.
Each CH4 is composed of solid
brass with a shiny chrome finish, and all are proudly produced in the USA! The
CH4 has a modernized appearance and is both thinner & lighter than its
predecessor the AG7. It features a unique dual-action knock mechanism that extends
the tip via the knock on the end, with a release button on the side to retract
it. This side retract button has a satisfying sound and feel to it, ensuring
that you will always remember to retract the point before putting the pen away
in a bag or pocket.
Shuttle Pens are packaged in a
heavy-duty gift box with flock lining and each includes a guarantee and re-order
pamphlet with a brief description of the history of Fisher Space Pen Co.
