I will talk about one balloon telescope and four space missions I have been involved with (COBE, WMAP, Spitzer & WISE) that have all made planetary observations. The all-sky survey missions COBE, WMAP and WISE have large data archives that are certainly not all mined out, and I will show several examples based on the NEOWISE archive. Finally I will discuss NEOCam, and proposed missions dedicated to an IR survey for asteroids.
