Accurate mass measurements of exotic nuclei give insight into basic nuclear properties important for the understanding of nuclear structure and astrophysics. The unique combination of the fragment separator FRS and the cooler-storage ring ESR has been used for the investigations of short-lived neutron-rich masses of 238U-fission fragments via Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS). The method has been extended with an additional magnetic rigidity determination. Masses for 14 nuclides have been obtained for the first time. The experimental setup, the data analysis, and the results will be presented.
