Calculating Acceleration: Basic Question on F=ma in AP Physics

[Oliviam12]

I know this is rather basic, but some how I confused myself... The question is:

An astronaut of mass 75 kg performs repair work on the 1700 kg satellite, while floating right next to it. He exerts a force of 180 N on the satellite.
What is his acceleration as a consequence of this, and what is the acceleration
of the satellite?

Ok, I know the force acting on the satellite is 180 N and the force acting on the astronaut is -180 N, because Newtons 3rd law (F=-F)

Now here is my main question. I know to solve I need to Use F=MA for both the astronaut and satellite but, is their mass relevant?

So is it:
Astronaut:
F/M =A
-180/75 =A OR -180/75=A
-2.4 m/(s^2) und =A

Satellite:
180/1700 =A or 180/0= A
.105882 m/s^2 =A und=A

Sorry, for asking such a duh! kind of question but, I am taking AP Physics as an online course and the grading policy is crazy and the teacher and course mat'ls are useless.

Yes, their mass is relevant. The astronaut will move away faster than the satellite will. The formulas for the acceleration that you have are correct.

Thanks, I just needed someone to make sure I wasn't being stupid.
