Which risk increases when a GPS satellite nears end-of-life?

💡 Explanation

In GPS satellites approaching end-of-life, orbital corrections become less frequent and less accurate; because the **accumulated relativistic effects** on spacetime are no longer compensated effectively, the positioning error therefore grows rapidly, rather than clock drifts directly or other subsystem failures.
