Data Processing and Distribution status as of 31-Mar-2004

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-0789) 3445
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase 3235
Total number of Observation Data Files generated 3176
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed 3047

Turnaround (in days) between Data acquisition and final Data Products distribution (last Quarter)
Values in excess of 90 days usually indicate a problem analysing the data and/or that re-processing was required. 		Data production delay
