One of the harder parts about that is setting up the attitude of the SV so that each payload gets time pointed at the earth (if that's what it cares about). A while back I worked on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CASSIOPE, which had multiple payloads, and giving each of them appropriate earth-facing time at specific parts of the orbit was... a delicate scheduling problem.
