physics- momentum ( a space question)

An astronaut is conducting repairs on a satellite 50.0m from a space shuttle. Her mass is 120kg (including space suit) and she is using a 0.5kg spanner. She realises that she only has 5 minutes oxygen supply remaining. With what velocity must the spanner be thrown for her to return to the shuttle safely.
