In this paper we present preliminary results of measurements carried out with a Russian spaceborne lidar `Balkan' installed onboard the orbiting station `Mir', which is operated here since August 1995. This lidar is the first spaceborne lidar operated on a routine basis. We present here the basic specifications of the lidar and the orbiting station that may affect the lidar measurement results. We also consider some methodological aspects concerning the arrangement of the spaceborne experiments along with the analysis of some results on sounding the ocean surface, cloud fields, and the land obtained in different regions of the Earth and under different illumination of its surface, including sunlight and moonlight.
