Which risk increases when a GPS satellite's kinetic energy is minimised conserving altitude?

💡 Explanation

Orbital decay increases because, due to mass-energy equivalence, lower kinetic energy at a fixed altitude means progressively lower mass decreasing its gravitational attraction. Therefore, lower altitude increases timing errors, rather than Doppler shift which proper orbit parameters counteract.
