NORAD tracks Santa Claus as Christmas delivery begins

The North American Aerospace Command (NORAD) repositioned its radars and satellites once again on Tuesday to track Santa Claus as he sets out on his worldwide mission to deliver presents to children around the globe. NORAD, a joint operation between the U.S. and Canadian militaries, is responsible for guarding the skies over North America. But every year their technology is trained on Santa and his reindeer as they make their journey across the globe, starting with stops in Australia and New Zealand. Now in its 68th year, the Santa Tracker has become a global phenomenon, with people around the world eagerly awaiting its launch every Christmas. The Santa tracking operation began early on Christmas Eve when, NORAD says, radar stations picked up an infrared signal emanating from Rudolph, Santa’s favourite ‘Red-Nosed’ Reindeer. The tracker is accessible through the NORAD Tracks Santa website and mobile apps.
