Which effect increases on a high-altitude satellite experiencing continuous thrust?

A)Gravitational time dilation
B)Atmospheric radiation pressure
C)Relativistic velocity aberration
D)Increased orbital eccentricity

💡 Explanation

A high-altitude satellite with continuous thrust experiences increased gravitational potential; because of the equivalence principle, this affects the time dilation mechanism; time passes more quickly, therefore, gravitational time dilation increases, rather than a change in special relativistic effects being observed.
