Check out the 4th & 5th books (The Frozen Stars & Rasputin Must Die) of the Reign of Winter Adventure Path.

Sorry, I should clarify; I meant those original to Pathfinder! I’m familiar with the Adventure Paths, but the Society stuff is outside my wheelhouse - hence this thread being here.

Not sure what you mean - Reign of winter is original to pathfinder. Despite the theme, it's located in the frozen north of the pathfinder world (golarion). Most Adventure paths are also sanctioned for society play if you want to play it with society characters.

If you mean stuff original to pathfinder Society (but plan to run it outside of society maybe?), then there's PFS 8-00 Cosmic Captive.
It's a multitable special, so it's written to work with several tables collaborating on common goals in different regions of a comet that's flying through space, which may be awkward for a single table. On the other hand, it includes scaling for levels 1-11.

I don't recall any adventures that directly take place in another planet, though. Problem is that planetary adventures are usually/probably pretty high level adventures (if the planet's environment is hostile) OR if it's not inherently hostile, there's little reason not to place the adventure on a more closeby location such as another nation (why go to space if space isn't going to give you any problems?).
There are plenty of scenarios that are located on other -planes- though, especially season 8.

There is a Seeker scenario

Spoiler:
Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-05: Eyes of the Ten—Part III: Red Revolution

although the planetary stuff is not emphasized.

There is also the multi-table Interactive Special

Spoiler:
Pathfinder Society Scenario #8-00 The Cosmic Captive

However, that would be quite involved, just as a warning.

PFS 2E also has at least one scenario that visits another planet,

Spoiler:
#3-99: Fate in the Future,
but it's a multi-table special, so (just like the 1E scenario Wei Ji mentioned last year) it takes quite a bit of planning to play.

I’d heard about this when it was happening - did folks like this one?

My personal opinion of that special is that it might have tried to do a bit too much in a single scenario. Specials tend to be a little bit combat heavy and a little bit go-go-go, while this particular one had a lot of things that I'd like more time to dwell on/set the mood/scenery. I think the story was well done and it was interesting.

If it were a normal scenario, and you could just choose to run it in an oversized (~6-7 hour) slot, I think it would work great. But as a special that needs multiple tables all progressing through phases at roughly the same rate, that's a harder solution.

5/5 *****

Several PF1 scenarios involve travel to other planes if you interested in that option as well.

I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the Starfinder special that was the other half of the story.
