The PININFARINA SPACE has been studied as a writing instrument suitable for microgravity environments, such as the I.S.S.The Ethergraf, of which the tip is made, proved to be an excellent material for writing in these physical conditions.The astronauts, can therefore use it in a microgravity condition.
This writing instrument has also been donated to the crew of the International Space Station (ISS) during the last V.I.T.A. mission.
