My lists of ETFs that hold SpaceX, Rocket Lab, AST SpaceMobile and Firefly Aerospace keep getting found on Google, so I'm doing the next one people ask about: Planet Labs.
Planet is the company that photographs the entire Earth, basically every day, with a fleet of small satellites. It doesn't build rockets. It sells the data. That makes it a different kind of space stock than most of the names in these funds.
It's also been a wild ride. $PL closed at $13.47 on October 30, 2026. Its 52-week range is $10.52 to $51.76, and its market cap is about $4.9 billion. When a stock can swing that much, a lot of people would rather own it inside a basket. Here's every way to do that.
What's in this guide
The Full List: ETFs That Hold $PL, Ranked by Weight
Same format as my other lists. The last column is the one I care about most: how many dollars of Planet Labs you actually own for every $10,000 you put in the fund.
| ETF | Fund | $PL Weight | $SPCX Weight | Expense Ratio | $PL per $10K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $WARP | VanEck Space ETF | 4.01% (#11) | 20.92% | 0.50% | ~$401 |
| $MARS | Roundhill Space & Technology ETF | 3.38% (#9) | 24.67% | 0.75% | ~$338 |
| $ORBX | Global X Space Tech ETF | 3.31% (#11) | 23.62% | 0.50% | ~$331 |
| $UFO | Procure Space ETF | 2.97% (#13) | 14.86% | 0.75% | ~$297 |
| $NASA | Tema Space Innovators ETF | 1.35% (#22) | 8.53%* | 0.75% | ~$135 |
Sources: StockAnalysis.com holdings data, updated October 29, 2026 for $ORBX, $UFO and $NASA, October 30 for $WARP and November 2 for $MARS. Expense ratios from StockAnalysis.com fund pages. *$NASA also holds about 17.12% in a SpaceX special purpose vehicle on top of its listed $SPCX shares. Weights change every day.
Three things jump out. First, the cheapest fund, $WARP at 0.50%, holds the most Planet Labs again. That's the same pattern I found with Firefly. Second, nobody holds more than about 4%. And third, the gap between the top four funds is small. $WARP, $MARS, $ORBX and $UFO are all between 3% and 4%, so fees and the rest of the portfolio matter more than the $PL weight itself.
Space ETFs With the Biggest Planet Labs Positions
$WARP VanEck Space ETF
The most Planet Labs of any diversified fund I found, at 4.01%, its 11th biggest holding. It's also the most concentrated fund here at 22 names. SpaceX is 20.92% and Rocket Lab a big 13.22%. Redwire (4.12%) and Firefly (4.10%) sit right next to Planet, so the newer space names get nearly equal weights. About $40 million in assets, launched May 6, 2026.
$MARS Roundhill Space & Technology ETF
Planet Labs is a top 10 holding here, 9th at 3.38%. SpaceX leads at 24.67%, then Rocket Lab (8.95%) and Viasat (5.81%). It holds a lot of the same small space names too: AST SpaceMobile, Iridium, Firefly, Intuitive Machines and Redwire. Launched March 5, 2026, with about $42 million in assets.
$ORBX Global X Space Tech ETF
Basically tied with $MARS at 3.31%, but at the lower 0.50% fee. The top is SpaceX (23.62%), Rocket Lab (9.59%) and AST SpaceMobile (7.65%), with Firefly and Redwire both around 4%. The downside: it's small, about $37.5 million in assets, and only launched April 14, 2026.
$UFO Procure Space ETF
The oldest pure space fund, launched April 11, 2019, with about $470 million in assets. Planet Labs is 2.97%, its 13th biggest holding, almost double what it gives Firefly (1.60%). SpaceX leads at 14.86%, followed by Trimble and EchoStar. The most diversified basket here, and the least SpaceX heavy of the group.
$NASA Tema Space Innovators ETF
The biggest of the new space funds by far, at about $984 million, but Planet Labs is only 1.35%, its 22nd largest holding. About 17% of the fund is a SpaceX special purpose vehicle, plus 8.53% in listed $SPCX, and Rocket Lab is 9.67%. Great if you want size and SpaceX. Not the pick if Planet is what you're after.

Popular ETFs That Don't Hold It
Here are the funds people assume own Planet Labs that don't show it among their top 25 holdings in StockAnalysis.com data from October 29 and 30, 2026:
- $ARKX (ARK Space & Defense Innovation ETF)
- $ARKQ (ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF)
- $ARKK (ARK Innovation ETF)
- $ROKT (SPDR S&P Kensho Final Frontiers ETF)
- $XAR (SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF)
- $ITA (iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF)
To be clear, "not in the top 25" means any position is small enough not to matter much. $ARKX is led by SpaceX at 10.64%, and the defense funds are dominated by aerospace giants. A $5 billion satellite data company just doesn't move the needle in those portfolios. If you own one of them "for the space exposure," you're mostly buying something else.

What You're Actually Buying With Planet Labs
Before I buy any fund for one name, I want to know what the name actually is. Quick version:
- The business: Planet designs, builds and launches its own satellite constellations and sells the imagery and data through an online platform. Its SuperDove satellites aim to image the whole Earth every day at up to 3.5 meter resolution.
- Newer satellites: its second generation Pelican high resolution satellites (Pelican-12 launched in October 2026) and Tanager, a hyperspectral satellite. In October 2026, Planet Labs Federal won a NASA evaluation task order for Tanager data under NASA's Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition program.
- The numbers: about $378 million in revenue over the last 12 months, up 44%, but a net loss of about $360 million. Next earnings are expected December 9, 2026.
- The basics: founded in 2010, based in San Francisco, listed on the NYSE under $PL.
So you've got real, growing revenue from a business that's more "data company" than "rocket company," but it's still losing a lot of money. That's a lot of risk to concentrate in one stock. A basket spreads it out.
The Catch: You Get 5 to 19 Times More SpaceX
This is the part most people miss. If you buy a space ETF to get Planet Labs, what you're mostly buying is SpaceX.
That's not necessarily bad. SpaceX is the most valuable space company out there, and Planet has launched satellites on SpaceX rideshare missions. But if your thesis is "I want the satellite data company," know that it's a small slice of what you're paying for. Look at the top three holdings before you buy, not the fund's name.
For the bigger picture, see our 10 top space ETFs to buy in 2026 and $NASA vs $MARS vs $ORBX vs $WARP, where I compared the four new 2026 funds head to head.
Which Approach Fits You
- "I want the most Planet Labs in a fund, for the lowest fee." $WARP, 4.01% at 0.50%. $ORBX is the runner-up at the same fee.
- "I want a space fund with a longer track record." $UFO, launched in 2019, $PL at about 3%.
- "I want a space fund big enough to stick around." $NASA, at about $984 million, but only 1.35% $PL.
- "I own $ARKX, $ROKT, $ITA or $XAR." You don't have meaningful Planet Labs exposure. Just know it.
My Take
I'm a dividend investor first. I reached financial freedom by building income, not by betting on satellite stocks. Planet Labs doesn't pay a dividend, and a company losing hundreds of millions a year won't anytime soon.
So if I wanted exposure, I'd keep it small, and I'd rather get it through a basket than the single stock. Between the funds, I'd look at the fee first. $WARP and $ORBX hold as much or more Planet Labs than the 0.75% funds and charge 0.50%. That difference compounds every year you hold it.
