Explanation:

Second statement is incorrect.
The TDRSS is a fleet of geosynchronous communications satellites that form part of NASA’s Space Network.
It was introduced in the 1980s to support the Space Shuttle. It is still in service, providing scientific data, relay for communications, telemetry and commands between operators on the ground and spacecraft in Earth orbit.
TDRS-M’s predecessors, TDRS-K and TDRS-L were also launched onboard of Atlas V rockets in January 2013 and January 2014, respectively.
The TDRS fleet is a critical connection for delivering science and human spaceflight data to researchers on Earth.
