Various concepts for individual propulsion units are analyzed which give man capability of extra-vehicular travel while in orbit; "Astronaut Maneuvering Unit" concept; unit is mounted on back, and deliberately locates nozzles away from center of mass; nozzles are used in pairs so that forces act in couples.
