Performing a risky maneuver that required precision flying, not only did space shuttle astronauts retrieve an orbiting satellite, it was done simultaneously while avoiding being rear-ended by a passing ultraviolet telescope.
这题有个答案space shuttle astronauts retrieved an orbiting satellite, simultaneously while avoiding，如果把simultaneously while的重复去掉后对吗？这句句子用avoid做伴随好呢还是用and avoid做并列好？
