Fisher AG7 Space Pen

Also known as the Zero Gravity Pen, the Space Pen is unique in that its ink cartridge is pressurized with nitrogen, ensuring the ink flows only when needed, not freely. It works in extreme temperatures, underwater, upside down and even in zero gravity. Astronauts aboard Apollo 7 used the AG7 after two years of testing by NASA.
