← ScienceWhich risk increases when a satellite's attitude thrusters operate near a powerful antenna?
A)Electrostatic discharge damages sensitive electronics✓
B)Reduced solar panel energy collection
C)Increased micro-meteoroid impact damage
D)Thermal runaway propagates through waveguides
💡 Explanation
Electrostatic discharge is the risk because plasma from thruster exhaust concentrates along electric fields, which can cause voltage surges. Therefore electrostatic discharge increases, rather than, for instance, thermal runaway which requires sustained inductive currents.
