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.

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.


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 problems do astronauts face in zero gravity?

Astronauts face several challenges in zero gravity, including muscle atrophy, bone density loss, fluid shifts in the body, and changes in spatial orientation. These issues can affect bodily functions and create discomfort for astronauts during space missions. Adaptation to the microgravity environment is crucial for the long-term health of astronauts during their time in space.


What is the lowest amount of gravity that a person can live on?

Many astronauts, cosmonauts, and specialists have lived and worked quitesuccessfully for months at a time on the International Space Station, invirtually zero gravity.


Where is the closest zero gravity place?

There is no "zero gravity" place. Gravity permeates all the universe. Astronauts in orbit are often said to be in zero gravity but they are, in reality, on a position where their orbital velocity balances the attraction of the Earth.

Why astronauts in space for several months suffer from muscular weakness?

Their muscles slowly weaken because they do not have to act against the forces gravity in the Zero-Gravity environment of space.

How do astronauts have a bath?

in space there will be no microbial activity hence no need of bath for astronauts and there will be zero gravity in space and also it occupy hell lots of place to store it......... hence waste of money,time.and full nonsence

How much zero gravity is there in space?

Zero! that's why it is called zero gravity!


Why do astronauts float weightlessly in space?

There is (apparent) zero gravity. The absolute gravity in orbit is about 90% of what it is on the surface of the earth, but the effective gravity is zero, and for a good reason.The fact is that in orbit, you are actually falling, but your forward speed is such that the curvature of the planet is dropping at the same rate that you are falling.And the astronauts are falling at the exact same speed as their capsule. This is called freefall.
