Has the pressure on Duna changed in the past?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I have played KSP since around 2013. At that time, I saw this image regarding the pressure on Duna and ever since thought that Duna had 1/5 of Kerbin pressure (sea level) - 0,2 atm

Strangely, the archived versions of KSP Wiki show this image together with description "Duna's atmosphere begins at 41,446 m. It is only 20% as dense as Kerbin's at altitude 0", but the right side info pannel reads "Atmospheric pressure   6.75500 kPa 0.066667 atm" at the same time.

Only recently I have discovered that the actual pressure on Duna is around 1/15 of Kerbin pressure (0,067atm). I guess I did not pay attention to the numbers when doing science on Duna before - I just measured the pressure and sent the data.

My question is - was the pressure on Duna in the earlier versions 1/5 atm and if so, when has it changed to 1/15? I guess it might have been at the time when the aerodynamic model changed completely, but I could not find any definitive information. Thanks for any insights on this.
