← ScienceWhich risk increases when a communication satellite reaches end-of-life?
A)Signal propagation experiences atmospheric ducting
B)Solar panel efficiency will sharply decline
C)Orbital mechanics exhibit chaotic trajectories✓
D)Telemetry systems endure permanent bit errors
💡 Explanation
Orbital mechanics lead to chaotic trajectories because the Station Keeping mechanism fails, therefore the satellite drifts unpredictably rather than maintaining its designated slot, ultimately disrupting services.
