Yet another conjunction event avoided between Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter and South Korean lunar orbiter KPLO.

"The risks associated with close conjunctions of CH2O and KPLO on May 24, 2024 were mitigated by coordination with KARI team. Two orbit maintenance maneuvers (OM-83 and OM-84) were executed for CH2O."

Lunar orbit is getting crowdy and orbiters have had to frequently perform conjunction avoidance manoeuvres.
