On October 6, 2010, Sigma Space participated as sponsor to the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) Award Ceremony, held at the Carniegie Institute of Washington D.C.
Sigma decided to support the FAS as part of Sigma's commitment to support scientific communities. The Federation of American Scientists in particular is a group of esteemed scientists who promote “a more secure world by developing and advancing solutions to important science and technology security problems”.
The Awards Ceremony presented the Hans Bethe Award to Dr. John Holdren, President Obama's science advisor, who strongly stated President Obama's commitment to robust investment in research and technology development for the nation, as well as to the inclusion of the best scientific and technological information for the formulation of policy.
