Sergeant First Class Zuppa

February 3, 2010
By

 As a part of Catholic Schools Week, Sergeant Zuuppa came in to talk to all the students. Ever since he was a child, Sergeant First Class Zuppa was interested in being in the army. When he first joined the army he was a little nervous. His parents had also told him that i t was his choice if he wanted to go into the army. Once he started he trained for nine weeks. During his training  Sgt. Zuppa had to do a lot of marching and physical training. It took him seven years to become a sergeant. He would like to finish college before retiring. His job hasn’t been that hard, actually it was been easy and straight forward.  His most satisfying part is getting to be part mof kids finding their careers.  His best advice if your going to join the army is make sure its something you want to do.

Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Station

 
This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Space station hardware in the foreground includes the Mini-Research Module (MRM1, center) and a Russian Progress vehicle docked to the Pirs Docking Compartment (right). Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then 'stack' them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 47 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA
