At first glance, an out-of-this-world plan to launch a network of crypto satellites into space, sounds like one of those grandiose ideas that never got much further than a vague outline in an ICO white paper back in 2017.
But when the plan comes from a team including a Google X engineer and the co-founder of the first private mission to reach the moon, the project suddenly seems a lot more feasible.
The idea behind CryptoSat which was indeed first outlined in a November 2017 paper is to build a prototype nano-satellite the size of a coffee mug and launch it into outer space, where it can act as a perfectly isolated and secure cryptographic module.
33 ROME, NEW YORK New York Air National Guardsmen and Royal Canadian Air Force personnel at the Eastern Air Defense Sector in Rome, New York, will be hard at work Christmas Eve as the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tracks Santa Claus for the 65th consecutive year. We re delighted to support NORAD s Santa tracking operations again this year, said Col. Paul M. Bishop, EADS Commander. I can assure everyone that EADS will do everything in its power to assist Santa with his critical mission.
Due to safety concerns created by COVID-19, a limited number of volunteers will be allowed in the NORAD Tracks Santa command post at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This means fewer phone operators to update Santa s travels. Callers who are unable to reach a live operator, however, will hear a constantly updated message on Santa s whereabouts.
Track Santa on his journey to Maine
ELLSWORTH Santa Claus is coming to town and you can track him along the way.
On Christmas Eve Santa will take to the sky, and while en route to deliver presents to Hancock County his movements will be tracked by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).
NORAD has been tracking Santa since 1955. The relationship began with an incorrect phone number and a resourceful Air Force commander who answered a phone call meant for Santa. The child was calling a number listed in an advertisement, but a typo sent the caller to an unlisted number for the defense agency instead. The commander played along and every year since the organization, which is responsible for tracking everything that flies, has added Santa to the list ensuring safe passage from the North Pole.
