Data Processing and Distribution status as of 31-Mar-2009

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-1704) 7516
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase 7136
Total number of Observation Data Files generated 6987
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed 6889

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
