interplanetary
Crossing cosmic distances
Interplanetary means between or among planets: interplanetary travel, interplanetary space.
The term appears in science fiction and astronomy to describe movement, communication, or distances within a solar system.
An interplanetary mission travels from one planet to another, as distinct from interstellar travel between star systems.
