The keycap profile looks very similar to the modified OEM of the aluminum keycaps from Metal Keyboards.

If it's any consolation, there is an IC for these legends on Geekhack; GMK 1520.

I thought it looked like a Grid.

Sure enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_Compass?wprov=sfla1

Got to use one, and type on it, once. The display was beautiful for its time.

Strange that info on the key switches used could be lost to time. But the best I could find was only that other similar looking Grid hardware used Micro Switch ST key switches:

Maybe a pen or such to be able to type with space suit gloves or just to stick it to surfaces or arms for holding it in place. The ISS is basically a hughe velcro pad.

Edit: Found a picture of one in space before velcro. Source is this reddit post.

Edit2: Here is one in space with velcro pads being used to hold it in place.
