In celebration of Astronaut Scholarship Foundation's 40th Anniversary, we share this limited-edition Tornado™ designed after the futuristic space suits that captured the public's attention. Details from the suit have been replicated onto the pen barrel with acid-etching and printing complete with white accents mimicking the astronaut's helmet and boots. They are engraved with a LE number of the 1958 rollerballs produced and topped with ASF's logo on the finial.

The illustration of the Mercury 7 on the packaging tube is reminiscent of the iconic photo of the astronauts in their suits and is printed against a metallic silver to complete the beauty of this special writing instrument. Continue to reach for the stars with the Mercury 7 Astronaut pen and honor the brave men and women who made such achievements possible.

Also available through all participating Retro51 Dealers and AstronautScholarship.org

Sebastian ★★★★★

The rollerball glides so smoothly I've been using it for everything from my planner to quick notes at my desk. The space suit detailing on the barrel is way sharper in person than I expected, and it feels solid without being heavy.

Victoria ★★★★★

The white finish with the orange accents really does look like the old space suit designs, which is exactly why I grabbed one. It writes smoothly and has a nice weight in the hand without feeling heavy during long notes.
