Data Processing and Distribution status as of 30-Sep-2004

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-0880) 3793
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase 3581
Total number of Observation Data Files generated 3514
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed 3398

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
