According to Montblanc, Chiao has used the company's pens since he was a student and his wife gifted him a personalized one to mark his Expedition 10 mission to the space station in 2004. To launch the new line, Montblanc worked with former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao, a veteran of four spaceflights totaling 229 days off the planet, including a more than 190-day stay aboard the International Space Station. That's why we decided to take a unique perspective on space exploration by looking back at our planet from the vast expanse of space." "Most astronauts who had the opportunity to see Earth from space over the years share the same unique feeling - the majesty of our planet is difficult to describe. "This year marks the 50th anniversary of the landing on the moon," said Nicolas Baretzki, Montblanc's CEO, in a statement.
