Seven long years after the Concept Study Report, PUNCH is ready to launch. We expect transition to Phase E at L+90d, i.e. close to Memorial Day. The instruments are in good shape, the MOC and SOC are ready, SDAC and the VSO are prepared, and at this meeting we will carry out training on how to use the data when they arrive. The science team have already carried out, and published, many groundbreaking studies. I'll discuss the status of the various mission systems and teams, the timeline and process for data to flow and analysis to commence, and next steps for the science team and the greater heliophysics community in a world with access to PUNCH data.
