For working in space unattached to a spacecraft, astronauts are enabled to move independently using a Manned Manoeuvring Unit (MMU). This snaps onto the back of the life-support system. It lets the astronaut move around in space by firing gas jets. It is operated by the handgrips on the armrests. 5, record 2, English, - manned%20manoeuvring%20unit
