Mass doesn't depend on anything else that's around you, but weight does.
The astronaut's mass is still 65 kilograms, on the moon or wherever else
she may go.
But on the moon, her weight is only 105 newtons.

The mass of the astronaut is still 65 kilograms. Mass is constant or doesn't change no matter where you are.
