Is there wind on Duna?


Recommended Posts

Flew a probe mission to Duna (details at http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/51396-Balboa-A-lighter-than-air-planetary-explorer )

Upon taking off from the ground, I noted the probe began accelerating, gaining 0.1 m/s of speed every 5-7 seconds. This occurred with engines fully shutdown, and no control input.

Was able to reproduce from my quicksave (which was 5 hours prior to Duna re-entry); landed the probe, took off and experienced the same accel rate.

Wondering if this was already modeled for Duna and not noted anywhere? I'll launch a separate probe at a later date to cross-check ( and maybe send a few aloft at Kerbin as well)
