  The AEgIS collaboration is underway to directly measure the gravitational
free-fall of neutral antimatter atoms. The experiment recently succeded in
producing a pulsed cold antihydrogen source for the first time, and has now
entered into its second phase, which aims at the formation of a slow
antihydrogen beam and subseuqently a first proof-of-concept gravitational
measurement. Major upgrades have been made, such as an improved antihydrogen
production scheme and a new state-of-the-art antiproton trap. AEgIS was also
connected to CERN's new antiproton deceleration facility ELENA and achieved
first antiproton catching in late 2021.
