The Planetary Society


A Mission

The Planetary Society was founded in 1980 by Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman to encourage the exploration of our solar system and the search for extraterrestrial life. The Society is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization, funded by dues and donations from individuals around the world. With 100,000 members from over 100 countries, we are the largest space interest group on Earth. Membership is open to all people interested in our mission.
