For over 50 years, Fisher Space Pen technology has been approved and used by NASA on every crewed space flight since 1967. This Bullet Space Pen features the NASA Meatball outline logo silkscreened in white. When closed, its compact size makes it suitable for carrying in a wallet, pocket, purse, car glove box, organiser or toolbox. When open, it forms a full-sized, evenly balanced writing instrument. The pressurised cartridge is designed to write upside down, at any angle, under water, through grease, in temperatures from -30 to +250 degrees F, on most surfaces, for up to three times longer than the average pen, and in zero-gravity conditions and the vacuum of space. Paul Fisher conceived the original Bullet Space Pen in July 1948 and subsequently machined a new pen design from solid aluminium. This became the first Fisher ballpoint pen, the #400 Bullet Pen. Recognised as an example of industrial design, the Fisher Bullet Pen is included in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Its enduring design has also been featured in art books and magazine articles. The Fisher Bullet Space Pen remains the brand's most popular pen design.
