Japanese Satellite "TSUBASA" has been operating well in the orbit of geostationary transfer orbit since February in 2002 for more than one year. It carries Heavy Ion telescope (HIT). HIT measures fluxes of heavy ions from helium to iron-nuclei in the energy range from 20 MeV/n for He to 179 MeV/n for Fe. The HIT instrument, based on the ^E × E particle identification method, consists of two position-sensitive-silicon-detectors and 16 PIN-typed Si-detectors with 420µm thickness. The geometric factor is 18-24 cm2 sr depending on energies of ions. Energetic ion population relating to solar energetic ion events was observed. Excellent separation of nuclear charge of energetic ions has been obtained for quiet and active periods of geomagnetic activity. Details of the HIT instrument and its recent results of observation in orbit are presented.
