SpaceX launched a demonstration mission Tuesday to send a reusable capsule into space and then recover it, part of a new program that may allow the Elon Musk-led company to tap into the emerging market of in-space manufacturing.

Under the Starfall program, which Bloomberg first reported on last year, SpaceX would bring products such as pharmaceutical components to space in small, uncrewed capsules atop its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket.
