A satellite Automatic Identification System (AIS) for tracking maritime vessels includes a constellation of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Each LEO satellite includes an AIS payload for receiving AIS messages from the maritime vessels and determining therefrom reported vessel position data and satellite-based observation data. The system also includes an AIS reporting system configured to obtain the reported maritime vessel position data and satellite-based observation data from the LEO satellites over time. In addition, the AIS reporting system is configured to filter the reported maritime vessel position data and satellite-based observation data to recursively produce estimated maritime vessel positions and update the estimated maritime vessel positions for the maritime vessels.
