The H.E.S.S. project is one of the next generation instruments for VHE gamma-ray astronomy. A stereoscopic system of four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) with a mirror area of about 100 m2 will be built in the Khomas Highlands of Namibia. Each reflector will consist of 382 individual mirror facets. These are quartz-coated, aluminized and equipped with a support-drive unit which is controlled by a dedicated system to provide an automated alignment. Tests showed that for individual light spots in the focal plane a positioning accuracy of better than 0.05 mrad can be achieved.
