A Falcon 9 rocket toppled after the landing following a launch from Florida, leading to the postponement of a similar mission at Vandenberg Space Force Base early Wednesday.

The Falcon 9 rocket launched as planned from Florida with 21 Starlink satellites on board.

“After a successful ascent, Falcon 9’s first-stage booster tipped over following touchdown on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship. Teams are assessing the booster’s flight data and status. This was the booster’s 23rd launch,” SpaceX said. 

No public injuries or public property damage were reported, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

FAA representatives said they would require an investigation into the landing anomaly. 

The team hoped to conduct two Starlink missions from both coasts, with the first occurring at 12:48 a.m. PDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.

Eight minutes later, the first-stage booster descended toward the landing platform in the ocean but slowly fell over upon touching down. 

That prompted SpaceX to postponed another Starlink mission, which was planned from Vandenberg between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. Wednesday.

“Standing down from our second @Starlink launch of the night to give the team time to review booster landing data from the previous launch. A new target launch date will be shared once available,” SpaceX said.

While the landing failed, the mission to deliver 21 Starlink satellites succeeded, according to SpaceX. 

This will be the second anomaly investigation of the summer following Falcon anomalies. The first involved a second-stage motor problem after the July 11 liftoff from Vandenberg.

That problem left the Starlink satellites in an unusable orbit. 

SpaceX quickly identified and crafted a fix for the likely flaw, returning to flight two weeks later.

Past anomaly investigations for different vehicles typically took months or years before the rocket’s return to flight.

Recovering the first-stage booster, the largest component on the rocket, means they can be recycled, helping reduce the cost and time to ready a rocket for flight. 

They also recycle the two halves of payload fairing or nose cone for reuse.

SpaceX only confirmed the two Starlink missions Tuesday night after unfavorable weather prompted a delay for the Polaris Dawn mission, also from Florida, to carry a crew of astronauts into space.
