The University of Dortmund, Germany is operating the 1.5 GeV storage ring based synchrotron light source DELTA. The machine is operated at 3000 h/year, 2/3 for dedicated synchrotron radiation research at 6 beamlines and 1/3 for machine dedicated accelerator physics research. Education and training of students of undergraduate and graduate level is a major task of the facility. Nominal beam parameters at 1.5 GeV are: beam current 120 mA, lifetime ~8 h, emittance 20 nm rad. Two undulators and a superconducting multipole wiggler serve as insertion devices. The paper will cover the present status of machine, beamlines and operation and will give an overview on accelerator related research activities. Presently the prototype of a 500 MHz higher order mode damped cavity, developed in the framework of an EU-collaboration under the leadership of BESSY, Berlin, is installed and tested. Other topics addressed will be the operation experience with the 5.5 Tesla superconducting wiggler, the implementation of turn by turn diagnostic tools for quick instability analysis and progress concerning orbit control and stabilization.
