Sumario:The COMPASS experiment at CERN SPS investigates several aspects of the nucleon spin structure using the high energy longitudinally polarised muon beam and a large polarised solid target providing longitudinal or transverse polarisations. Results obtained during the 3 years of running (2002-2004) with a $^{6}$LiD target are summarized. They concern the measurements of longitudinal double spin cross-section asymmetries for the inclusive DIS, for the production of high $p_{r}$ hadron pairs and D mesons (direct determination of $\Delta G/G$), the measurements of Collins and Sivers asymmetries with a tranversely polarised target, the measurements of transverse and longitudinal polarisations for produced Lambda.
