Which risk increases for space-based GPS satellites due to gravitational curvature?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational time dilation affects clocks at different gravitational potentials; this is spacetime curvature. General Relativity predicts faster time on orbit. Clock timing signal drift occurs because satellite clocks age at a different rate than ground clocks, therefore time must constantly reconcile and reduce drift, rather than the others.
