At PLANET, we strive to transition valuable technologies from their initial development stages to viable commercial markets through production and sales, equity or market partnerships, and technology or product licenses.

Launched in 1995 in Madison , Wisconsin under a strategic alliance with Orbital Technologies Corporation (ORBITEC), PLANET provides an outlet to commercial markets for ORBITEC’s advanced space technologies. In return, PLANET’s products have had continuous access to ORBITEC's experienced research team to support future developments and improvements.
