The ending theme of Planetes is "Wonderful Life" by Sakai Mikio. The opening was also sung by the same singer. Very similar to the opening, it gives you a very comfortable feeling, and is happy and optimistic.
Overall, the song is a good ending theme. Not my favourite, but I can listen to it without skipping it, as it has grown on me. I can sometimes be pretty particular with opening and ending theme songs, but this one passes the test, I'd say.
The animation is mainly Hachirota through various stages of his life running or riding his bicycle or motorcycle, usually having something to do with space launches. It's a good backdrop to the credits. What I find interesting is that even though this is decades in the future, the cars and motorcycles look the same as they do today.
Here is the creditless ending theme:
What do you think of this ending theme?
