Schottky Mass Spectrometry (SMS) and Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS) have been successfully applied for direct mass measurements of exotic nuclides at FRS-ESR facility at GSI. Both experimental methods are sensitive to single stored ions and can cover very efficiently a large number of nuclides in one run. Presently, more than 1100 masses of different nuclides have been covered by SMS and IMS in several FRS-ESR experiments whereby about 350 of them have been determined for the first time. In this paper, we present the status of our experimental program and use the experimental mass values to test the predictive power of modern mass models.
