"US will be the 20th country to sign up for a commercial launch by India," said Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) chairman A S Kiran Kumar, on the sidelines of the 5th convocation of AMET University.
Early in July, the able workhorse of the agency, the PSLV-C28 placed in orbit five satellites from the UK in its 30th flight.
The vehicle has proved its reliability and versatility by launching satellites into a variety of orbits including polar Sun Synchronous, Geosynchronous Transfer and Low Earth ones.
The UK satellite launch on July 10 was part of an agreement between DMC International Imaging (DMCii), a wholly owned subsidiary of Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL), UK and Antrix Corporation, the commercial arm of Isro.
The launch was Isro's heaviest commercial one with a total payload of 1,440 kg.
The PSLV-XL variant was similar to the ones that launched Chandrayan and Mangalyan, the moon and Mars orbiters.
India has so far launched 45 satellites for 19 nations.
