Data Processing and Distribution status as of 31-Dec-2007

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-1475) 6581
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase 6244
Total number of Observation Data Files generated 6102
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed 5852

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 Delay
