Attitude Hold - by Kim Poor

(Not 'Altitude') Wearing an MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit) enables astronauts to fly freely in space. In the "Attitude Hold" mode, the unit sets its gyroscopes and maintains a fixed position in space, firing its thrusters to compensate for any movement of the wearer.

This feature is handy for working on satellites, or for enjoying the view over the Gulf of Mexico, as seen here. This print is in the collections of several of the astronauts who have actually flown the MMU in space.
