This paper summarizes a methodology for designing on-board state estimators in support of spacecraft exploration of small bodies such as asteroids and comets. This paper will focus on an estimation algorithm that incorporates two basic computer-vision measurement types: a Landmark Table and a Paired Feature Table. Several innovations are developed to incorporate these measurement types into the onboard state estimation algorithm. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.
