← ScienceWhich consequence results when a GPS satellite's Schwarzschild curvature becomes significant?
A)Clock signal timing errors increase✓
B)Solar panel efficiency will plummet
C)Antenna signal reflections intensifies
D)Onboard computer resets frequently occur
💡 Explanation
If gravity increases for a GPS satellite, Time dilation will become significant due to spacetime curvature, therefore the atomic clock timing drifts, must be corrected to prevent positioning errors, rather than antenna effects or computer malfunction under these conditions.
