  The AEgIS (Antimatter Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy)
experiment, located at the Antimatter Factory at CERN, aims to study the
asymmetry between matter and antimatter. In particular, its first goal is to
measure the effect of gravity on antimatter. The method chosen is to determine
the fall of a pulsed beam of anti-hydrogen, caused by the Earth's gravitational
field, by mean of a moir\'e deflectometer. In this contribution the new
anti-hydrogen production scheme is presented, together with the improvements
that the experimental setup underwent in the last years, deemed necessary in
order to reach an antihydrogen flux with the characteristics needed to obtain a
precise gravity measurement. Last, the first technical results are described
and the future steps outlined.
