Which risk increases when a satellite's attitude thrusters operate near a powerful antenna?

💡 Explanation

Electrostatic discharge is the risk because plasma from thruster exhaust concentrates along electric fields, which can cause voltage surges. Therefore electrostatic discharge increases, rather than, for instance, thermal runaway which requires sustained inductive currents.
