This is an class assignment but I need ideas…

Building the International Space Station will require more space-walking hours (over 150!) than have ever been attempted in space before. Design an innovation that would be able to assist astronauts in the construction of the space station.
Keep in mind…
The laws of physics.
The vacuum of space.
The needs of the crewmembers.
The limitations of the current space suit.
The design of the space station.

Your innovation can be used by the crew on a spacewalk, or by an astronaut inside the shuttle, or inside the space station. It can be a remotely operated or manually controlled piece of equipment, a tool, a process or even software. It can address any part or phase of the construction process from the next mission through assembly complete.

Please can you help asap!!

It doesn’t have to be that elaborate, but anything would help!
Thanks!

P.s. for anyone who does not know what spacewalk is, it’s task preformed by an astronaut outside of the space station in space.
