Micromirrors for Multiobject Spectroscopy: Large Array Actuation and Cryogenic Compatibility

Micromirror arrays are being developed dedicated for astronomical instrumentation. We report on the strategy to handle a large number of micromirrors needed for covering a 0.5 m times 0.5 m large active surface and on cryogenic characterization.
