Paper Abstract
This paper discusses the development of a demonstrator freeform active mirror for future
astronomical instruments both on Earth and in space. It consists of a system overview and progress
in various areas of technology in the building blocks of the mirror: an extreme freeform thin face
sheet, an active array, design tools and the metrology and control of the system. The demonstrator
aims to investigate the applicability of the technique in high end astronomical systems, also for space
and cryogenically.
