I'm the lead roboticist. Within bounds, I can answer questions.
sure seems like this could just as easily be used to perform on-orbit disassembly of a hostile nation's satellite?
What sort of interesting actuators are used that people might not commonly think of? (I'm thinking of interesting solutions like the JWST's mirror actuators [0].)

It sounds like each "MEP" (mission extension pod) once attached is its own fully autonomous satellite? How big is each MEP? Like, a mini fridge?
Since the mission is designed to attach one and then leave to go to another satellite that needs servicing?
