Space Foundation adds Fisher Space Pen to Space Tech Hall of Fame

More than 50 years after its pressurized writing instruments first entered orbit, Fisher Space Pen and its late founder are entering the Space Technology Hall of Fame.

The company and its namesake are being honored during a private ceremony on Thursday (Aug. 26), held as part of Space Foundation's 36th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs. Fisher Space Pen is being inducted as an organization and Paul C. Fisher, inventor of the iconic space pen, will be inducted posthumously as an individual (Fisher died in 2006 at the age of 93).
