McGrew | Assuming the satellite has essentially no mass, so the spaceship needs to use its engines to keep going in a circular orbit around the satellite, then only special relativity applies. The spacecraft will perceive its received data rate as being a bit faster than the transmitter's data rate on the satellite. A way to know this is via the fact that a clock taken from the satellite to the spacecraft, then after a while brought back to the satellite, will lose a bit of time relative to a clock left on the satellite, but uploaded data is like clock ticks on the satellite. | |
