Santa Cams, fighter jets, satellites and radar are all used by NORAD to track Santa’s progress on Christmas Eve. Santa and his reindeer takes a different route each year so NORAD has to use the most up to date technology to track his flight.
The process begins with monitoring the radar at the North Pole to determine when Santa starts his voyage delivering gifts to the world’s good boys and girls. The satellite system then begins tracking the flight path using the infrared signal and heat put off by Rudolph’s nose.
Next the Santa Cams capture pictures of Santa as he delivers gifts.The cameras were added in 1998 when the Santa Tracker moved to the internet. December 24th is the only day of the year these cameras are used.
The fighter jets are used once Santa enters North America. They fly with Santa and the reindeer to ensure their safe passage through North America.
Since going online, NORAD has partnered with Google to provide the server for NORAD’s Santa Tracker website (www.noradsanta.org) and Santa’s Gmail account. Google Earth provides 3-D photos and video of Santa at street level. There is even an application for following Santa’s progress on your cell phone.
