Is there a database containing the currently known course of most artificial satellites?

For instance, satellite X is travelling at speed n and at time T it will be at point P.

For all countries/owners.
Bonus if it includes space debris and natural objects that enter the vicinity of Earth.

If precise enough it could be used to prevent collisions.

Yes, there is ample data for you to play with.

stuffin.space uses a ridiculous amount of data from :

  1. Satellite data - https://www.space-track.org/

  2. Satellite.js - makes it easy to interpret velocity, and other SGP4/SDP4 calculations. (GITHUB - https://github.com/shashwatak/satellite-js)

  3. A real-time interactive WebGL visualisation of objects in Earth orbit @ stuffin.space

  • SpaceTrack has an API. It publishes only part of the dataset for civvie users. You can also find a lot of data at Ted Molczan's satobs.org (SeeSat-L mailing list archives and other stuff). – Deer Hunter Jul 27 '15 at 17:17
