VERITAS, which stands for Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System, is a ground-based gamma-ray instrument which operates at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory (FLWO) in southern Arizona, USA. The array consists of four 12m optical reflectors used for gamma-ray astronomy in the GeV - TeV energy range. These imaging Cherenkov telescopes are deployed such that they have the highest sensitivity in the VHE energy band (50 GeV - 50 TeV), with maximum sensitivity from 100 GeV to 10 TeV. This VHE observatory effectively complements the NASA Fermi mission.
