The launch marked the 20th orbital rocket launch from Florida's Space Coast this year.
SpaceX is targeting early Wednesday morning for another Starlink mission launch.
SpaceX launched 21 Starlink satellites into orbit Sunday night from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Despite the booster mishap, SpaceX confirmed the successful deployment of all 21 Starlink satellites.
This mission marked the 20th orbital rocket launch from Florida's Space Coast this year.
SpaceX launched another Falcon 9 rocket during Sunday night's Oscars ceremony, sending up another payload of 21 Starlink broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
But after the first-stage booster successfully landed atop a SpaceX drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, a fire in the aft end of the rocket damaged one of the landing legs — and the booster tipped over, SpaceX reported.
"While disappointing to lose a rocket after a successful mission, the team will use the data to make Falcon even more reliable on ascent and landing," SpaceX officials said in a Monday morning tweet.
