L-band microwave radiometric system RK-21-8 mounted onboard of Russian Segment of International Space Station is aimed on the development of new technologies in Earth remote sensing. Preliminary analyses of obtained data show that measuring characteristics of instrument are stable. Data obtained allow to estimate characteristics of microwave thermal emission for variety of earth surfaces and RFI situation during measuring campaign
