Introduction	The Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS) was launched by H-II rocket from Tanegashima Space Center on August 17, 1996. It initiated the routine operation phase on November 25, 1996 after check-out.
	EOC processes not only AVNIR and OCTS data received at EOC but also the data received at ASF and WFF for NASA's ADEOS operation.

2.1	AVNIR Data Processing Status
1)	We provided the results of data processing from November 1, 1996 to May 31, 1997 in Table 1.
2)	Currently, we are processing data without any problem.
3)	Routine distribution began May 7, 1997.

Total	106	59	149	89	496	110	3	1012

2.2	OCTS Data Processing Status
1)	The current data processing status (the planned data processing status)
	as of June 13, 1997 is as follows :
	- RTC 1996/11/1~1997/6/7
	- GAC 1996/11/1~1997/4/6
	- GAC (Day ) 1996/11/1~1997/4/6
	- GAC (Week) 1996/11/1~1997/3/1, 1997/3/30~1997/4/5
	- GAC (Month) 1996/11/1~1996/12/31
2)	Data processing algorithm revision
	We revised the algorithm on April 10, 1997.
3)	We plan to start routine distribution in the future.
