← TechnologyWhich 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.
