Experiments to study cosmic ray isotopic composition up to Zr-40An overview is presented of instruments and techniques being developed with improved mass resolution and large geometry factor for the study of isotopes. The Advanced Composition Explorer and the Large-Isotope Spectrometer for Astromag are presented as two experiment systems that can reduce statistical uncertainty for the iron isotopes to a small percentage. The instruments are capable of studying isotopes with values of Z of 30-40 by means of orbiting or lunar-based platforms when used for long-duration exposure.
