← ScienceWhich outcome ultimately occurs due to aerodynamic heating on a spacecraft?
A)Plasma generation halts radio communication.✓
B)Engine efficiency decreases gradually.
C)Oxidation accelerates material degradation.
D)Fuel efficiency spikes drastically upward.
💡 Explanation
Plasma generation blocks radio waves because intense heat ionizes the atmospheric gas, creating a plasma that interferes with radio frequency transmission called Plasma Blockout. Therefore, radio communication halts rather than fuel or engine issues, because those are separate effects.
