Pininfarina Space X Fountain Pen - Matt Black

Pininfarina Space is a writing instrument designed for use in space. Entirely made of magnesium, an ultra-light material that offers high mechanical characteristics, Pininfarina Space was donated to the crew of the International Space Station (ISS) during the last VITA mission. This gives astronauts the chance to use it in microgravity conditions where normal pens cannot write.

The metal alloy from which the tip is forged, Ethergraf, writes by oxidation, without the need for graphite or ink, and is therefore the ideal solution for the environmental conditions of space stations, where micro particles derived from ordinary pencil graphite are very dangerous for the filtration system.

Features:

• Writes in gray, like a graphite pencil (not suitable for signing official documents);
• Ethergraph tip (special metal alloy);
• Stylish magnesium lightweight body;
• Round aluminum base;
• Length - 16 cm;
• Weight - 15 g.
