Rocket-propelled jetpacks for use in space could serve as a highly maneuverable personal mobility system for astronauts in microgravity environments, enabling quick, precise movement without relying on fixed handrails or bulky robotic arms. Unlike atmospheric jetpacks that use air for thrust, space versions would rely on compressed gas or small rocket thrusters—similar to NASA’s Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) or the more compact Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER)

Until the 21st century, almost every jetpack was in fact a rocket pack.
You can buy rocket powered jetpacks already – not sure how they would work in space as the brakes need to be added, heh.
Space Jet Packs are such a great idea. Not sure if you need rocketry for them though.
Unless you want them to go fast! Imagine, zooming between space stations in a fast spacesuit, great idea.
