Which risk increases when operating a GPS satellite near Earth and why does the principle matter?

💡 Explanation

Accuracy degrades severely because relativistic time dilation means the satellite's clock runs faster than Earth's; General Relativity requires adjusting via the Einstein synchronisation mechanism; therefore, ignoring it increases positional errors sharply, rather than electrical load or component failures.
