The WASA detector facility is an internal experiment at the COoler SYnchrotron COSY in Juelich, Germany. The COSY accelerator provides proton and deuteron beams with momenta up to 3.7 GeV/c giving access to hadron physics including the strange quark sector. The WASA-at-COSY physics program focuses on light meson decays where rare decays are used to scrutinize symmetries and symmetry breaking. The structure of hadrons is probed with transition form factors and hadron spectroscopy while hadron dynamics is studied via reaction dynamics and few body reactions. Goals and status are reported with special emphasis on the meson Dalitz decays.
