Beyond our atmosphere lies a dynamic environment filled with Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). At RAAVANA, we act as the sentinels of our planet, dedicated to the detection and tracking of comets and asteroids that cross Earth’s orbital path. Understanding the composition and trajectory of these celestial bodies is not just a scientific pursuit; it is a vital component of planetary defense and global security.
Our research utilizes advanced radar imaging and automated sky surveys to identify potential impactors years in advance. By studying the mineralogy of asteroids and the volatile components of comets, we develop the data necessary to protect our civilization while also identifying resources that could fuel the future of space manufacturing and interplanetary exploration.
Leaders in Planetary Defense
Managed by Buldosoft Corporation, RAAVANA is spearheading the development of a regional Planetary Defense Hub. We are committed to establishing a high-speed data link with international networks like the Minor Planet Center to ensure Sri Lanka is part of the global early-warning system. This leadership ensures that our nation is prepared to respond to cosmic threats with scientific precision and strategic foresight.
Our leadership is defined by the development of “Impact Mitigation” strategies. RAAVANA scientists are researching kinetic impacter technology and gravity tractor methods to safely alter the course of hazardous objects. By investing in these protective technologies, we transition from being passive observers to active guardians of our planet’s safety, setting a benchmark for aerospace excellence in the region.
Protecting Earth requires a unified global effort. RAAVANA actively leads collaborative training and simulation exercises with international space agencies to test emergency response protocols. Through these partnerships, we provide the leadership necessary to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical defense, ensuring a secure future for all generations.
The best way to predict the future is to protect it. Our vigilance among the stars is the shield that guards the home we share.
At RAAVANA, we believe that monitoring the skies is a sacred responsibility. Every asteroid tracked and every comet analyzed is a step toward a future where humanity is no longer at the mercy of the cosmos, but a capable steward of its own destiny.
Precision Tracking & Mitigation
We apply a creative approach to “Orbit Refinement,” using machine learning to filter out background noise and focus on the smallest, most elusive space rocks. By engineering these high-sensitivity detection tools, RAAVANA is building a digital fortress around Earth, ensuring that no threat goes unnoticed and no opportunity for scientific discovery is lost.
Being the Guardians of Earth is a mission that never sleeps. RAAVANA remains committed to constant observation and innovative defense, ensuring that the beauty of the night sky remains a source of wonder, not fear.
