Explanation:

The statement that the InSight Mars Lander is a joint initiative of NASA and the European Space Agency to study the red planet is not correct. The InSight Mars Lander mission is primarily a NASA mission, and it was not a joint initiative with the European Space Agency.

The statement that the InSight Mars Lander will collect data about the outer atmosphere and availability of water on Mars is correct. InSight's primary mission is to study the interior of Mars, particularly its seismic activity and heat flow, but it has also collected data related to the planet's atmosphere and water content.

So, only statement 2 is correct.
