  1. 1.0 1.1 The mass and drag are from the part config, but the game handles it as physicsless.

The PresMat Barometer measures the current atmospheric pressure.

Usage

Displays atmospheric pressure to 5 significant figures when active. Pressure below 0.0001 pl is the measurement of a vacuum (in game)at this time. This is low enough to have negligible effect on engine Isp, but may result in significant amounts of drag.

While it is activated, the barometer drains 0.0075 Electric Charge per second (27 E/hr).

Description

A device for measuring the local atmospheric pressure. Warranty void if exposed to air
