Atlantis was the last Shuttle to fly, and the first to carry an Italian to space. Dr. Franco Malerba became our country’s first astronaut in 1992. Montegrappa's design draws from NASA’s crisp lines, signature colours and iconic ‘Worm’ logo to channel the spirit of the era.
A clean resin livery relies on enamel-fill detailing and the NASA Worm logo to accentuate its obvious, early-90s influences. Precision engravings of Atlantis in launchpad and lift-off modes lend space-explorer flavor to stainless-steel hardware.
The second chapter in our NASA programme reconnects with a period of great optimism, when the Space Shuttle was a beacon of international cooperation and scientific endeavour. It arrives at a moment when interest in space exploration is flourishing once again. Sure to stir emotions in technology and design fans alike, NASA Atlantis is available in fountain pen, rollerball and twist-action ballpoint.
