I don't see why you would not be able to write with a pen in space. Pens operate on the principle of capillary attraction, and that is not affected by gravity or the absence of gravity. The only issue I can see is that if you attempt to use a pen in a vacuum, any air bubbles contained in the ink would expand, and the heat of your hand might make the ink boil.
What else can I help you with?
What pen can write up side down?
a space pen
Why is not possible to write through fountain pen in space?
i think not possible to write in space
Is there any kind of pen that works in space?
There is a pen appropriately named the Space Pen (also known as Zero Gravity Pen) produced by the Fisher Space Pen Company. The pen itself is also advertised to write underwater.
Why cant you write in space?
You CAN write in space. With a chalkboard and eraser or with pencil and paper. The problem is that in the vacuum of space, the liquid ink of a pen evaporates too quickly and dries out the pen. Additionally, within the pressurized crew compartment of a spacecraft, there is no gravity that is needed to cause the ink to "fall down" onto the ball of a ballpoint pen. To solve this problem, NASA solicited the design of a special ballpoint pen that could write in zero-G or upside down. The result was a pen with an ink cartridge pressurized with nitrogen, which would force the ink to the ballpoint even when inverted.
What is the zero gravity pen?
Rather than using a pencil, astronauts needed a pen that would write while they were in space. So the pen was invented. On earth, they will write regardless of whether you are upside down or rightside up.
What year was the first waterman pen invented?
you cant write under water
How was the zero gravity pen originally used in space?
The zero gravity pen was originally used in space so astronauts wouldn't have to find a pen for example if the zero gravity pen floats then the astronauts would be able to see where a pen is because if the pen did not float then if one of the astronauts needed to write something down they would have to write.
Why cant you use a pen in space?
b/c there is no gravity and ink is not move down word.
What kind of pen writes in space?
Good Question Well ......... There is a vaccuum-cartridge pen that will write in space. There is also a device known as a "pencil." :)
Who invented the space pen?
The space pen was invented by Paul C. Fisher in 1965. Fisher developed a specially designed pen with a pressurized ink cartridge that could write in zero gravity and extreme temperatures, addressing the unique challenges faced by astronauts in space.
How do astronauts write in space or zero gravity?
The astronauts use space pen to write in space or zero gravity.The Space Pen (also known as the Zero Gravity Pen), marketed by Fisher Space Pen Company, is a pen that uses pressurized ink cartridges and is claimed to write in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, over wet and greasy paper, at any angle, and in extreme temperature ranges.The Fisher Space Pen was invented by American industrialist and pen manufacturer Paul C. Fisher and is manufactured in Boulder City, Nevada, USA. Paul C. Fisher first patented the AG7 "anti gravity" pen in 1965. Pens claiming some or all of the same abilities have also appeared on the market from other manufacturers.
Can you write with a ballpoint pen in Earth orbit?
Yes, just the same as you can write on a wall or ceiling. But for writing in a vacuum (or at very low pressures or high altitudes) the ballpoint pen needs a pressurized ink capsule like the Fisher "Space Pen".
