The aim of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator (MAD) is to correct for atmospheric turbulence over a field of view which is much larger than the one typically covered by the exist-ing adaptive optics systems installed on 8-m-class telescopes. After a long period of testing at the ESO premises, MAD was installed at the VLT early in 2007 in order to evaluate its correction performance. Here we present the MAD project and the recent results obtained during the on-sky testing at the VLT UT3 telescope Melipal.
