← ScienceWhich consequence results when inertial and gravitational mass equivalence is contradicted within a planned satellite gravitational mapping mission?
A)Orbital resonance disrupts planned trajectory
B)Instruments yield spatially correlated error✓
C)Thermal control systems overheat unexpectedly
D)Communication signal displays doppler distortions
💡 Explanation
If the Einstein equivalence principle fails, instruments become vulnerable to spatially correlated error because violations would influence local space-time, thus corrupting the gravity gradient; therefore gradiometers would be affected rather than an orbital or thermal effect.
