FISHER SPACE PEN history
In the 1950's there were dozens of ballpoint models, and nearly
every one took a different cartridge. In 1953 Fisher invented the
"Universal Refill" which could be used in most pens. It was a good
seller, since stationery store owners could reduce their stock of
assorted refills.
THE INVENTION of the FISHER SPACE PEN
Not content, Fisher continued to work on making a better refill.
After much experimentation he perfected a refill using thixotropic
ink-semisolid until the shearing action of the rolling ball liquefied
it-that would flow only when needed. The cartridge was pressurized
with nitrogen so that it didn't rely on gravity to make it work.
It was dependable in freezing cold and desert heat. It could also
write underwater and upside down.
Fisher Space Pen is born
The trick was to have the ink flow when you wanted it to, and not
to flow the rest of the time, a problem Fisher solved. Fisher's
development couldn't have come at a more opportune time.
Space Pen wins the Space Race
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.
