Resumo

The free electron laser (FEL) FLASH at DESY in Hamburg is the first x-ray FEL ever built. Many new developments were necessary in order to exploit the unique properties of this novel light source for scientific experiments. The facility has constantly been improved and several major upgrades have been made or are currently underway. This paper reviews the main characteristics of the user facility as well as the major developments and upgrades.
