I vaguely remember seeing something about Russian launches from colder locations using heating for some of the tanks too. Ill see if I can find it. Not really atmospheric variable though... | |

| Sep 28, 2018 at 10:23 | comment | added | Uwe | A lower atmospheric pressure should increase the performance and thrust of the first stage engine a little bit. Drag would be decreased a little. A higher atmospheric pressure would have reverse effects. | |
| Sep 28, 2018 at 10:19 | comment | added | uhoh | @JanDoggen there's discussion of scrubbed launches, and one failure, but I think the OP is interested in variations in performance a little less boolean than that. | |
