We report on performance studies of the ATLAS detector obtained with first single LHC (Large Hadron Collider) beam data in September 2008, and large samples of cosmic ray events collected in the fall of 2008. In particular, the performance of the calorimeter, crucial for jet and missing transverse energy measurements, is studied. It is shown that the ATLAS experiment is ready to record the first LHC collisions.
