description High-precision collaborative observation is urgently needed due to the increasing demands of space science missions. Based on a conventional DFP (disturbance-free-payload) configuration, this paper presents a novel DFP that has great potential to deal with collaborative observation missions. The novel DFP system is developed, in which two or more payloads are installed via a non-contact unit and installed parallel configuration. Thus, the novel design is a multibody dynamics system. With the incorporation of the dynamics of the flexible umbilical between the PMs (payload modules) and SM (support module), the six-degrees-of-freedom multibody rigid–flexible dynamics of the whole system are derived. To verify the effectiveness of the novel DFP design in a collaborative observation mission, a multi-loop controller is designed for an inertial Earth collaborative observation mission. Simulation studies are conducted, which indicate that the proposed design can complete collaborative observation and achieve high precision.
