Concept : Distributed Interception & Vigilance for Yield-modification of Asteroids (DIVYA)

This paper presents the conceptual architecture of Distributed Interception & Vigilance for
Yield-modification of Asteroids (DIVYA) which is a concept of a network of modules in Earth’s
orbit proposed to detect, monitor and intercept potentially hazardous asteroids or anomalies. The
acronym DIVYA is a sanskrit word, which means "divine," "heavenly," "celestial," or "radiant
brilliance.”
DIVYA is a web of modules with each module incorporating six interceptor bays arranged
around the spacecraft. It also carries an in-built telescope which looks out for other space
anomalies which have a probability of hitting Earth. Then we align it (by commands) at such a
position where we can launch the interceptors to deflect anomalies.
