Explanation:

This statement is correct. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission aims to search for planets outside of our solar system, including those that could support life.

This statement is incorrect. TESS is not led by MIT; it is a NASA mission. MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is involved in the mission, but it is not the lead organization. Additionally, ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) is not a collaborator on the TESS mission
