Fisher AG7-50 Apollo 11 Special Edition 50th Anniversary Astronaut Space Pen

On July 20, 1969, the crew of NASA’s Apollo 11 made history, becoming the first manned spaceflight to land on the moon.

Launched on July 16, 1969, the spacecraft carried Commander Neil A. Armstrong, Command Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. On July 20, at, 4:18 pm EDT, while the entire world held its breath, the lunar landing craft named Eagle 1 safely touched down. Several hours later, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to stand on the moon while Collins orbited above.

To commemorate this great event, Fisher Space Pen Co. has introduced the Apollo 11 Special Edition 50th Anniversary Astronaut Space Pen in Chrome, complemented with fine engravings including the Columbia Command and Service Module, historic dates, & Apollo 11 50th Anniversary text.

In 1967, after over two years of rigorous testing by NASA, the Space Pen was selected for use by the astronauts of Apollo 7 and has been used on all manned space flights since then. The design of the Original Astronaut Pen has not changed in over 44 years, and the pen that you buy today is exactly the same as the one taken to the moon in 1969.

All Astronaut Pens are proudly produced in the USA! Each is made of solid brass with hard chrome plating, giving it a solid feel in your hand as you write. They also feature a unique clicking mechanism that extends the point via the button on the top, with a release button on the side to retract it. This side button has a substantial sound & feel to it, helping to ensure that you will always remember to retract the point before sliding the pen back into your pocket.

Astronaut Pens have been used on all NASA Apollo and Space Shuttle missions, the International Space Station, Russian Soyuz and MIR space flights, the French ARIANE Space Program, and the Everest North Face Ski Expedition.
