Several European institutions have successfully pioneered the principle of stereoscopic observation of gamma-ray induced air showers as a technique to do very high energy astronomy with the HEGRA instrument on the island of La Palma. Following the success of HEGRA, a next generation instrument, called HESS (High Energy Stereoscopic System), is currently under construction in the Khomas Highland of Namibia. Plusieurs institutions européennes ont réussi à mettre au point le principe de l'observation stéréoscopique des gerbes produites dans l'atmosphère terrestre par les photons induits par les rayons gamma comme technique appliquée à l'astronomie des très hautes énergies avec l'instrument HEGRA sur l'Ile de La Palma aux Canaries. A la suite du succès d'HEGRA, un instrument de nouvelle génération, appelé HESS (Système Stéréoscopique à Haute Energie), est actuellement en construction dans l'Highland Khomas en Namibie.
