Disclosed herein are systems and methods for estimating an orbit of a satellite using only images captured by an onboard camera of the satellite. One of the disclosed methods includes: capturing a plurality of images using an onboard camera of the satellite; determining the trajectory, loop closure metrics, and the relative geographic position of the satellite using the plurality of images captured by the onboard camera; and estimating the orbit of the satellite based at least on the determined trajectory, loop closure metrics, and the relative geographic position of the satellite.
