The energetic helium isotopes, 3He and 4He, were observed by Heavy Ion Telescope (HIT) onboard the TSUBASA satellite from March, 2002 to September, 2003 in the geostationary transfer orbit. These isotope data in the quiet periods were analyzed to obtain the spatial and temporal variation of fluxes of both isotopes. The enhancement and variation of the 3He/4He ratio in low L-value were found to be large in comparison with that of galactic cosmic rays (GCR), while the ratio in high L-value is almost stable and comparable to GCR one. These results suggest that the injection and loss mechanism of heavy ions differ between inner and outer radiation belts.
