BeppoSAX, the X-Ray Astronomy satellite operating in the (0.1–300) keY energy band has now lived more than 30.000 hours in orbit and it is halfway to complete the 3rd round of observations (A03 started at the beginning of may 1999 and it will end in April 2000). A report is given on the general fields covered by the mission and on the more relevant results obtained. The satellite is in excellent operating conditions and it is foreseen to continue the observational life-time well beyond the initially scheduled 3 years.
