For decades mankind has believed that space exploration carry no threat of pollution for the near-Earth environment. There are several hundred thousand man-made features in orbit by now, less than fifteen hundred of them are active satellites and the remaining amount is space debris. However, only 5–10% of the total number of space objects can be tracked from the Earth. Experts, who face the need to make decisions, illustrate the situation in near-Earth orbits work with an object’s shape and perform scientific researches, often do not have tools that could fulfil the given work properly. Besides, at the moment space debris and spacecrafts are not considered as objects of geoinformation modeling. The results of near-Earth space monitoring-related research activities and ways of their development, including GIS-technologies application, which will increase the efficiency of near-Earth space status monitoring and improve the perception of the heterogeneous spatial information by means of modern three-dimensional visualization application, are shown in this paper. Moreover, the brief analysis of the space objects databases and web-services known from the public media and published on the Internet is represented. In addition, suggestions on the national software solution of the next-generation to provide services in the field of near-Earth space monitoring are made.

Keywords: near-Earth space, space debris, space object, space environmental monitoring, GIS web service, two-line element set (TLE), Google Earth API, CesiumJS
