Abstract: The Telescope Array Experiment (TA) is the northern hemisphere's largest detector of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). Built to measure the UHECR chemical composition, arrival-direction anisotropy, and energy spectrum for $E > 1$~EeV, TA's instrumentation includes both an array of scintillator-based particle counters and three fluorescence detector stations overlooking the ground array. This presentation highlights recent composition, spectrum, and anisotropy measurements based on UHECR data collected since TA operations began in 2007, including preliminary results for $E > 10$~PeV from the newly commissioned TA Low-energy Extension (TALE). The expected impact of planned expansions to the experiment will also be described.
