Explanation:

Statement 1: The services of both INSAT and IRS are being taken by the IMD for meterological purposes.
For e.g. KALPANA-1 carries a Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR) capable of imaging the Earth in the visible, thermal infrared and water vapor bands.
Statement 2: INSAT helps provides location information of the distress signals transmitted by beacons mounted on board ships, aircraft or those carried by individuals.
The location information is determined instantaneously and informed to rescue coordination centres for carrying out search and rescue operations of the affected ship, aircraft or individuals.
Transponders carried on the satellites of INSAT enable telecommunication and broadcasting
