The problem of origin and maintenance of the dust cloud leads to the spatial distribution of its parent objects as a boundary condition that must be satisfied by the evolutionary model. In near-earth space, we have a rather complete record of the passing by comets and asteroids with body diameters of about 10 km, and a biased but fairly representative record for those with body diameters of about 1 km. If the density profile of the dust cloud could be reconstructed from deep-space measurements, the interface with the distributions of different systems of larger interplanetary bodies would yield important evidence of their role as potential sources of dust and on the general transport and survival rates. In the present paper, three-dimensional distributions of the main-belt asteroids, the Amor objects, the Apollo objects, the short-period comets, and the long-period comets are reconstructed.
