ORBIT INSIGHTS 05 - Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU)

In the fifth episode, we will talk about the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) - the astronaut jatpack for untethered spacewalks and its very short history of only 3 missions.

The Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) is a device used by astronauts during space shuttle missions to perform untethered extravehicular activity (EVA) in space. Developed by NASA, the MMU allowed astronauts to move freely in space without being tethered to the space shuttle or space station.
