Sumario:The COMPASS experiment at CERN consists of a two stage magnetic spectrometer. In its initial phase, it is equipped with all necessary detectors to measure the gluon polarization through the photon gluon fusion mechanism, either by direct observation of charmed mesons D$^{0}$ or from high $p_{T}$ pairs. After an overview of first data taken in 2002, expectations for extraction of gluon polarization in the near future will be presented.
