Santa tracker

“Beginning at 6 a.m., Monday, the 24th of December, Los Alamos time, Mountain Standard Time, the ‘Where’s Santa Claus Now’ page will track the jolly man’s progress across our planet. The International, Space & Response (ISR) Division team will use the satellite dishes high up in the Los Alamos mountains in conjunction with sensors on the FORTE satellite to track Santa.

“We expect Santa to arrive in Northern New Mexico around midnight, Mountain Standard Time, on Christmas Eve,” said Diane Roussel-Dupré of Space Data Systems (ISR-3). “As he travels the world, crossing time zones, he’s chasing midnight, hour after hour, and delivering his treasures to families everywhere.”

Together, the dish/satellite team will be able to cover the majority of the Earth’s flight paths to ensure that Santa’s whereabouts are confirmed. The team also believes that Rudolph’s glowing red nose will put out an optical and infrared light, subsequently making Nick and his reindeer team just that little bit easier to find. “source :www.canadafreepress.com
