The PresMat Barometer measures the current atmospheric pressure.
Contents
Usage
Displays atmospheric pressure to five significant figures, while active. Pressure below 0.0001 atm is the threshold of a vacuum (in game). Lower atmospheric pressures markedly reduce lift/drag, and cause a small change in engine efficiency (Isp)
Consumption
While it is activated, the barometer drains 0.0075 Electric Charge per second (0.45 E/m, 27 E/hr).
