Gamma-Ray Astronomy, originated with the OSO-3, SAS-2 and COS-B satellites, has been renewed during the last three years by Compton-GRO's discovery of tens of Galactic and extra-galactic sources up to ≈ 10 GeV. Also in the last three years, a ground-based observing technique has emerged for TeV gamma rays: the identification of gamma-induced air showers via their Cerenkov emission. Extrapolating this technique down to the present limit of satellite observations has become a realistic goal, allowing fundamental questions to be tackled which would remain open until the individual spectra were extended.
