The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) represents an important step forward in the study of extreme astrophysical processes in the universe. By employing an array of large atmospheric Čerenkov telescopes, VERITAS will combine the power of the imaging atmospheric Čerenkov technique with that of stereoscopic observations. The seven identical VERITAS telescopes, each of aperture 10m, which will be deployed in a hexagonal pattern of side 80m; each telescope will consist of 499 pixels with a field of view of 3.5°. VERITAS will substantially increase the catalog of very high energy (E > 100 GeV) γ-ray sources and will greatly improve measurements of established sources. This paper describes the main science goals of the VERITAS project.
