The Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) was successfully launched at 23:43 UT on 8 October 2022. Here we describe the final technical status of the whole mission right before the launch, including the spacecraft platform and the three onboard payloads. The mission’s science goals, organizations, preliminary performance in the commissioning phase, and the first-light results of the three payloads are briefly presented.
