Is the fisher space pen patented by NASA?
History of the Fisher Space Pen Paul Fisher developed the Fisher Space Pen almost 40 years ago during a time when the ‘race for space’ was being fought. When astronauts began to fly they used ordinary pencils. The lead of these pencils could easily brake off causing dangerous situations when they floated around in the gravity-less space cabin. A safer and more reliable writing instrument was needed, the Fisher Space Pen. More than one million dollars went into the development of the Fisher Space Pen and in 1965 Paul Fisher successfully developed the first pressurized Fisher Space Pens.
