You want to design a material for making a mirror for a telescope that will be launched

Question:

You want to design a material for making a mirror for a telescope that will be launched in space. Given that the temperatures in space can change considerably, what material will you consider using? Remember that this material should not expand or contract at all, if possible. It also should be as strong and have as low a density as possible, and one should be able to coat it so that it can serve as a mirror.
