Data Processing and Distribution status as of 31-Dec-2010

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-2025) 8550
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase 8167
Total number of Observation Data Files generated 8020
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed 7941

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
