Which risk increases when correcting satellite orbital decay?

A)Inaccurate time dilation correction
B)Gravitational gradient stabilization failure
C)Differential atmospheric drag amplification
D)Radiation pressure trajectory divergence

💡 Explanation

The GPS system depends on both special and general relativity. Incorrect application of spacetime curvature factors during velocity correction introduces error in atomic clock synchronization because proper time adjustments offset the velocity; therefore, a time dilation correction is critical, rather than the listed alternatives under propulsion.
