Revealiry the promising directions of radar systems’ development for monitoring outer space, seems to be made on the basis of considering the possibilities of the most informative foreign radars for monitoring space debris. A retrospective of using radar facilities for detecting space debris and constructing their radar images is given. Based on the study of such radar facilities’ construction, there are substantiated and presented the main directions of radar technics’ development for these aims.
