FERMI-LAT is performing an all-sky gamma-ray survey from 30 MeV to >300 GeV with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution. FERMI has detected high-energy gamma rays from the Moon and Sun since the first weeks of data taking. This emission is produced by interactions of cosmic rays with these objects. Similarly, some gamma ray emission can be produced by interactions with asteroids and planets. We have searched this emission looking major planets during the first 6 months of data taking. We present here the status of the search.
