The ASTRI telescopes will be characterized by innovative technological solutions, such as the dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder optical configuration, a modular, light and compact focal-plane camera consisting of an array of multi-pixel silicon photo-multiplier sensors, and an efficient and fast front-end electronics, specifically designed for ASTRI. They will be located at the Teide Astronomical Observatory, operated by IAC, in the Canary island of Tenerife. <BR></BR> <br clear="all"/> The secondary mirrors of the ASTRI telescopes were realized already at the beginning of the ASTRI Project. After a few years, some of them revealed a clear degradation of the surface reflective coating. Therefore, it was necessary to look for a qualified industrial supplier able to perform a new coating of these mirrors. To this aim, the ASTRI Collaboration identified the French company CILAS as the best option. In this paper, we present the activities performed by CILAS on the mirrors. We first describe the coating approach adopted by CILAS and its tuning to the case of the ASTRI M2 mirrors. Then, we describe the qualification activities of the coating process, the problems arisen and the remedial actions that were adopted. Finally, we report the obtained results from the reflectivity and homogeneity points of view.A new coating campaign for the secondary mirrors of the ASTRI Mini-Arrayinproceedings10.1117/12.30177512024SPIE13100E..5ZL
