NGA Not NORAD Tracking Santa This Year

It appears that Santa needs more satellite imagery to make his toy drop more efficient. NORAD, who usually tracks Santa, has been pushed aside for the Pentagon's National Geospatial- Intelligence Agency.

(UPI)"After being overwhelmed by a growing world demand, Santa approached NGA earlier this year and asked for help to streamline his Christmas Eve deliveries. 'I need routes that will let me move around the world quickly and efficiently,' he said, according to an NGA press released issued Thursday.

"NGA combined satellite imagery with its map and chart making expertise to develop a digital navigation system that solved Santa's problem. Called NGA TOY DELIVERY SYSTEM X-100, this specialized geospatial-intelligence product was specifically formatted to let Santa create quick and easy routes around the globe.

You can track Santa too at NGA.mil. I hope the Pentagon does a better job with Santa than it did with Iraq.
