High resolution satellite observations of the galactic cosmic rays (approximately 100-300 MeV/amu) have yielded determinations of near-earth isotopic compositions, which are presented: (C-13)/(C-12) = 0.070 + or - 0.006; (Si-29)/(Si-28) = 0.109(+0.024, -0.014); and (Si-30)/(Si-28) = 0.084(+0.020, -0.014). Using a standard propagation model, source values greater than solar are derived for each of these ratios. The (C-13) excess may be the result of cross section uncertainties, but the (Si-29) and (Si-30) appear to reflect real differences between the galactic cosmic-ray source and the solar system.
