ICESat-2 is not a satellite launched by ISRO. It is a satellite mission launched by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to precisely measure changes in Earth's ice sheets.

ICESat-2 is designed to measure changes in Earth's ice sheets, but it does not measure the tops of trees for the purposes mentioned. The second statement is not correct. ICESat-2's primary mission is to monitor the elevation of ice surfaces in polar regions to understand the changes in ice sheets and sea ice.
