The organization engages in advocacy for increased funding for space exploration, funds research projects related to SETI, exoplanets, and asteroid defense, and provides educational resources through its magazine, *The Planetary Report*. It also supports technological innovations, particularly in solar sailing. With a global community of over 2 million space enthusiasts, The Planetary Society fosters public engagement in space exploration under the leadership of CEO Bill Nye. Its efforts have significantly impacted planetary exploration and raised awareness about the importance of space science.
