the 18-year-old American James Uder created three-dimensional visualization of objects orbiting the Earth, which can be found on the website Stuffin.space. Among them are working satellites (GPS or GLONASS), and orbital debris, damaged vehicles, and the spent stages of rockets.

To update the data base is used by the Ministry of defense, which tracks the majority of space objects. With the exception of secret and spy satellites on the map is not found. Forecast the movement of objects up to several kilometers in real time. Recorded as the rotation of the Earth itself, and the influence of the Sun.

all Of the selected objects on the map to obtain detailed information, up to flight altitude, velocity and period of revolution around the Earth. According to some, in orbit at the moment, there are almost 17 thousand objects.
