When NASA first started sending
astronauts into space, they realized that the ball-point pen would not
work at zero gravity.
A million dollar investment and two years of tests resulted in a pen
that could write in space, upside down, on almost any surface and at
temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 Degrees Celsius.
When confronted with the same problem, the Russians used a pencil. This
Russian Space Pen is a replica of the writing instrument used by Soviet Cosmonauts on
early manned space flights.
The Russian Space Pen measures 7
in. long, writes upside down, at zero gravity, in extreme temperatures &
on almost any surface.
