Which consequence results when inertial and gravitational mass equivalence is contradicted within a planned satellite gravitational mapping mission?

💡 Explanation

If the Einstein equivalence principle fails, instruments become vulnerable to spatially correlated error because violations would influence local space-time, thus corrupting the gravity gradient; therefore gradiometers would be affected rather than an orbital or thermal effect.
