Explanation:

1 and 2 only

The first statement is correct. JPSS-1 (Joint Polar Satellite System-1) is indeed designed to provide essential data for timely and accurate weather forecasts and for tracking environmental events.

The second statement is also correct. JPSS-1 is the first in a series of four next-generation operational environmental satellites designed to orbit the Earth in a polar orbit.

However, the third statement is incorrect. JPSS-1 is not jointly launched by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) and Roscosmos (Russian space agency). It is a program led by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in partnership with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) in the United States.

Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
