On 19 September 2024 Orbital Maneuver OM-87 plan for raising perilune of Chandrayaan 2 Orbiter (CH2O) was modified to avoid the potential close conjunction risks with Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) around 1st October, 2024. The tentative plan for the next manoeuvre OM-88 scheduled on 1st October, 2024 was also adjusted to avoid post manoeuvre conjunctions with other lunar orbiters (KPLO, LRO).

In August 2024, planned Orbital Maneuver OM-86 for apolune reduction and circularization of Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter (CH2O) was modified to avoid the potential close conjunction risks with Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) around 15-16 August 2024.

In July 2024 two close approaches between Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter and other lunar orbiters resolved through inter-agency coordination.

• Close approaches with and NASA's Lunar reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) on 12 July
• Potential close conjunction risk with Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) on 25 July

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.

South Korea's KPLO has also imaged Chandrayaan-3 Vikram landing site on 27 August 2023.
