Analysis of the Dublin-ESTEC ultra heavy cosmic ray experiment which was exposed for 69 months in Earth orbit aboard the LDEF spacecraft is continuing. To date, approximately three times the pre-LDEF world sample has undergone most of the processing and measurement required to estimate the relative abundances of nuclei with Z greater than or = 70. A preliminary charge spectrum has been completed for approximately 450 UH nuclei and the measurement status of another 350 UH nuclei which are under investigation will be described. Early results, which do not yet include detailed analysis of fragmentation in the detector stacks, indicate r-process enhancement over solar system abundances.
