75 Days Until Santa’s Launch

, ,

There are just 75 days now until Santa’s launch. Santa’s sleigh continues test flights over Sector 1 at this time. All reports from Flight Command indicate the sleigh is on track for on-time delivery.

Flight engineers remain hopeful on the possibility of a new speed record to be set by Santa and his sleigh this year. Early test flight results have been promising. Of course, it cannot yet be known what obstacles Santa will face – such as weather – when he actually takes flight.

This is why the sleigh is tested in every possible weather scenario in many places around the world.

Please keep on eye on the North Pole websites for further information about Santa’s launch.

100 Days to Santa’s Launch

, ,

Santa’s launch is now only 100 days away. With the test flight firmly established over Sector 3 in Europe and Africa everything seems to be on course for a successful season.

“We are way ahead of where we thought we would be at this point,” said North Pole Flight Command flight director Elf Buck Sanchez. “The heart of the entire operation is Santa’s sleigh and it’s setting records. Santa will have a good flight this year.”

Santa himself is yet to flight the sleigh. But test pilots working on the project are gushing about how well it is going.

“Kids will want to the be in bed early this year – really early,” said Elf Test Pilot Jett Thrust. “I’m not even kidding. Santa could arrive hours earlier than normal. This sleigh is so hot Santa could make pizza on it and have it ready to deliver at the door before the cheese is even melted. That’s how fast this sleigh is.”

Test flights of the sleigh are planned to continue almost right up until the hour that Santa launches. “We want it perfect in every respect,” Elf Quinton Q. Quigley, head elf of Research and Development at the North Pole. “So we’re not going to stop making it better and better.”

Santa’s Sleigh Ends August in Sector 5

, ,

Santa’s sleigh will end August in Sector 5, performing maneuvers in the USA and Canada before heading somewhere else in September.

Flight analysts are very excited with the progress of the sleigh. Tests are being conducted at what is described as “extreme speeds” and are going so well many are predicting a new possible speed record for Santa this year if weather conditions are favorable.

Flight tests for September are still being planned. The recent return of reindeer to the North Pole gives flight test engineers greater flexibility.

It could be said that Santa’s sleigh is ahead of schedule at this point and that all conditions are favorable for Santa’s flight so far.

Software Upgrade for Santa’s Sleigh

, ,

Santa’s sleigh has returned to the North Atlantic and is taking a bit of a flight break for a software upgrade.

The electronics on Santa’s sleigh are very sophisticated. The sleigh is equipped with several communication systems but none is more important than Internet. It is via the Internet that Santa is able to connect his sleigh to the databases of the North Pole. Through this wireless satellite technology Santa is able to have access to his files on any particular believer out there.

Through it he can access wish lists, letters, maps, directions, photos or any other kind of information that is collected on every believer. Santa has records dating back centuries and he knows a lot about most people. But none of that is useful to him if he cannot access it.

Software is needed to connect, access and then deliver to Santa – securely – the information that he needs.

Software also integrates with flight tracking systems, weather computers, and a variety of functions related to the work of the North. It all has to work.

These upgrades happen regularly. They need to be tested thoroughly before the sleigh takes again to the air. When the sleigh is again in flight these systems will be upgraded again. We do not exactly know how long the sleigh will be grounded or where the sleigh will be headed to test the software.

As we learn this information we will share it with you.
