Abstract Antarctic meteorite not only is the precious resources for scientific researches,but also has the great significance of getting insight into the evolution history of the ice sheet. Since the 15th Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition in 1998,Antarctic meteorite survey in China has been gotten a great breakthrough,Grove Mountains are found as a new meteorite concentration with more than 12000meteorites collected,hence China has been one of the biggest countries with antarctic meteorites. However,Chinese work on antarctic meteorite survey has a certain disparity from the modern countries e.g. USA. In order to achieve the long-term targets of Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition and make arrangements of the thirteen-five-term planning on the antarctic meteorite research,on the basis of the review of our antarctic meteorite research and the analysis of the problems existed in it,the long-term target of antarctic meteorite research is imagined and the work plan of our antarctic meteorite research in the thirteen-five-term planning period are made in the article.
