Of Or Pertaining To Planets
I should also have referred to the Order of Planetary Engineers in Poul Anderson's Psychotechnic History. See:
The Institute And The Order
Inner And Outer
Brotherhood And Order
Coordinators
Explorers And Engineers
The Abbey
The Enemy
Searching the blog discloses one use in Anderson's works of the term, "planetarians."
And that might exhaust references to words or phrases derived from the noun, "planet."

Kaor, Paul!
Comment in the next blog piece was not apt, I should have left it here.
I remember the Order of Planetary Engineers. And how its HQ at Archimedes Crater on the Moon was called the "Abbey." I looked thru some of the links you collected to see if the Order was mentioned as having any religious beliefs. And was the Chief of the Order called the "Abbot"?

Kaor, Paul!
Which is just a bit anticlimactic if the HQ of the Order was called the "Abbey." I would have preferred "Abbot" to "Coordinator."

Sean,
The terms "Coordinator" and "Coordination" provide some continuity in the Psychotechnic History. See the post, "Coordinators," Thursday, 24 December 2015.

Kaor, Paul!
I thought of that as well. Except that the Coordinators of the Order of Plametary Engineers was very different from the Coordination Service.

Sean,
But there is conceptual continuity.
