– C30 also carried six small satellites from different countries. This launch
also marked the first ever commercial flight of US Satellites from India, four
of which share the boardroom of the PSLV-C30. The other two payloads are of
Canada and Indonesia; PSLV – C30 is the third time that an Indian rocket
carried seven satellites in a single mission. In 2008, ISRO launched 10
satellites in one go including India's Cartosate-2A satellite; as of now, it is
the heaviest launch of ISRO in PSLV
