The article discusses the development and implementation of an integrated information system for environmental monitoring and certification of launch vehicle fall areas. The system is based on a geoinformation platform that includes a database, a web application, and a cartographic interface that provides collection, processing, and visualization of spatial data. The trajectories of launch vehicles, zones of normal and emergency falls, and associated environmental risks are reflected. Particular attention is paid to the military aspect: space launches, being a strategically important activity, create additional environmental threats associated with the use of toxic fuel components, contamination of soils and water bodies, and the impact on the population of nearby territories. The proposed approach allows taking into account both scheduled and emergency launches, recording accumulated damage, and analyzing the long-term consequences of military and civil space activity.
