Which risk increases when a satellite's attitude control system degrades?

A)Imprecise pointing of an antenna
B)Solar panel thermal runaway
C)Insufficient battery charging current
D)Decreased downlink transmission bandwidth

💡 Explanation

Satellite ADCS degradation increases antenna mispointing because attitude control relies on feedback loops using thrusters; this causes signal fading when trying to maintain a ground-station link, therefore link loss is probable rather than stable transmission conditions.
