Retro 51 Columbia Space Shuttle Tornado Rollerball Pens

Retro 51 launches the Columbia Space Shuttle Tornado rollerball pen to recognize the scientific achievements of Columbia's astronauts and flight crews. The Columbia was the first NASA orbiter to reach space. It was launched in April 1981 from the Kennedy Space Center. Throughout its time, it spent 300 days in space and orbited the Earth 4,000 times. It flew 27 successful missions and was a very big step in helping us understand more about the universe. Columbia had its last mission on February 1, 2003, after spending 16 days in space. All who helped with this, including the seven brave crew members, have been memorialized through the Patricia Huffman Smith Museum and Columbia Memorial Space Center.

The Retro 51 Columbia Space Shuttle Tornado rollerball pen is a limited edition of 1958 pieces, a reference to the year NASA was created. The pen features a printed graphic on a stainless steel barrel and a top disc imprint showing the Astronaut Scholarship Fund (ASF) logo. The pen's matte black nickel accents finish the look perfectly.

*The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit that was created in 1984 by the Mercury 7 astronauts to encourage university students to pursue scientific excellence and ensure the United States would remain the global leader in science and technology for decades to come. That partnership continues to be carried on by astronauts of subsequent missions and has grown to one of the largest merit-based scholarships of its kind. Retro 51 donates proceeds of each sale to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.

Each Retro 51 Columbia Space Shuttle Tornado Rollerball pen is packaged in a custom graphic tube perfect for storing or displaying your pen. Each pen is already loaded with a Retro 51 rollerball refill.
