Actually, time passes MORE quickly at the satellite.  "Chronotropy" is
a canard.  The rate of the satellite clock is set to run slow so that
it is observed to run at the proper rate on the earth.  The reason why
the satellite must be updated is because (1) the satellite is not in

an

exactly circular orbit and (2) the earth does not have a uniform
density.

This is a very interesting post.
It asks a question: "How is it that the satellite, which apparently goes
faster than the earth, has a time that passes faster, contrary to what
SR predicts?"

Because, of course, it's GR.

We answer it as we can, today, the answer is that it seems that
apparently, gravitation slows down time.

It's not just "apparent": it's confirmed by experiment.

Since Richard Hachel is not too interested in GR, he does not believe in
it too much. The other two arguments that you have just proposed do not
seem any more judicious to me.
I have a fourth explanation, and it remains within the framework of RR.

"RR" is not a valid theory.  Nature doesn't care who believes what.  If
