We recently got to pick the brain of Adam A. Triolo, VP, Commercial Business Development at REGENT ! We asked him all about the Seaglider: an all-electric, high-speed craft that's set to revolutionize coastal transportation. Flying just above the water's surface, it offers an inexpensive, zero-emission way to travel regional routes up to 180 miles. A truly exciting look at the future of maritime-aerospace innovation! REGENT's headquarters is in North Kingstown, Rhode Island,

Spacecoin has successfully routed the world’s first blockchain transaction through orbit, validating the company’s mission to build a decentralized satellite internet that could one day rival Starlink.  Using its CTC-0 nanosatellite, built by EnduroSat  and launched on a SpaceX  Falcon 9 rideshare in December 2024, the team transmitted encrypted data from Chile to Portugal, proving that cryptographic integrity can be maintained end-to-end beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
