Most "spacewalks" are done to repair or deploy instruments outside the shuttle or other craft. Most satellites and other space equipment is too large to work on in an enclosed ship (even the substantially large shuttle cargo bay). Spacewalks are often called EVA's (Extra-Vehicular Activities), and the only protection the astronaut has is his (or her) spacesuit. Not only are they cumbersome to work in, but the suits are comparatively fragile and could endanger the user if they leaked or malfunctioned.
Most spacewalks are done while tethered to a spacecraft or station, but some use a portable thruster. In 1984, NASA tested a portable jetpack called an MMU (Manned Manuevering Unit), which let the astronaut jet around, moving only a discreet distance from the vehicle. For most of the activities, the astronauts are still hooked up with a safety line.
