We have determined the orbit poles of four transneptunian binaries from observations with the Hubble Space Telescope spanning from 2 to 6 years. Orbit fitting software allows us to break the sky-plane orientation degeneracy for the orbit plane inclination and compute the pole positions in ecliptic coordinates. This work triples the number of transneptunian binaries with known pole positions. It is now possible to compare observed distribution with theoretical predictions and constrain conditions in the protoplanetary nebula at the time of binary formation.
