If an astronaut in space pushes off a satellite and there are no other acting external forces, she will **move in the same direction at the same speed forever**. This is in accordance with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
