18 The HADES spectrometer offers a unique possibility for systematic studies of the light vector meson mass distributions inside nuclear matter by means of di-electron spectroscopy. Recent results from commissioning runs confirmed the expected superior on-line and off-line electron identification capabilities. In particular, a high-statistics run with LVL2 trigger provided first pair data from C+C reactions at 2 AGeV. High resolution di-electron spectroscopy becomes now also possible, after the completion of the outer MDC tracking system. The full experimental program is planned for several years. First experiments aiming at the exclusive meson reconstruction in proton-proton reactions have been started in High resolution studies of the vector meson production in pion induced reactions and light nucleus-nucleus system are planned in next 2-3 years. The HADES experimental program for FAIR (2-8 AGev) is under development. The JINR activity for HADES project was very appreciated in the recommendations of JINR/BMBF Committee and previous Workshops on the Scientific Cooperation between German Research Centers and JINR.
