Sumario:The ATLAS experiment is a general purpose detector to observe proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. The experiment has been commissioned with a large sample of cosmic ray events recorded in 2008 and 2009, and the first proton-proton collisions were observed at the end of 2009. The very good state of readiness of the detector, and some first results of collisions, are reported.
