Energetic heavy ions with the energies from 20 MeV/n to 179 MeV/n in the radiation belts were measured by Heavy Ion telescope (HIT) instrument onboard the "TSUBASA" satellite launched on Feb 2002. We observed four energetic ion events for a period from March 1 to May 30 in 2002. The spatial and temporal features of heavy ions were studied during the period. L-shell distribution of He seems to have a similar structure to that of relativistic electrons in the quiet time. However, the L-shell distribution of heavy ions ( CNO) are different from that of He in L<3. The rapid increase and then short drop of heavy ion( CNO) flux are observed during the short-term geomagnetic disturbance.
