Apsis

An apsis is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body.

See Kosmos 132 and Apsis

Baikonur Cosmodrome

The Baikonur Cosmodrome is a spaceport operated by Russia within Kazakhstan.

Epoch (astronomy)

In astronomy, an epoch or reference epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity.

See Kosmos 132 and Epoch (astronomy)

Geocentric orbit

A geocentric orbit, Earth-centered orbit, or Earth orbit involves any object orbiting Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites.

See Kosmos 132 and Geocentric orbit

International Designator

The International Designator, also known as COSPAR ID, is an international identifier assigned to artificial objects in space.

See Kosmos 132 and International Designator

Kosmos (satellite)

Kosmos (Ко́смос,, meaning "(outer) space" or "Kosmos") is a designation given to many satellites operated by the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia. Kosmos 132 and Kosmos (satellite) are Kosmos satellites.

See Kosmos 132 and Kosmos (satellite)

Low Earth orbit

A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with a period of 128 minutes or less (making at least 11.25 orbits per day) and an eccentricity less than 0.25.

See Kosmos 132 and Low Earth orbit

Orbital inclination

Orbital inclination measures the tilt of an object's orbit around a celestial body.

See Kosmos 132 and Orbital inclination

Orbital period

The orbital period (also revolution period) is the amount of time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object.

See Kosmos 132 and Orbital period

Reconnaissance satellite

A reconnaissance satellite or intelligence satellite (commonly, although unofficially, referred to as a spy satellite) is an Earth observation satellite or communications satellite deployed for military or intelligence applications.

See Kosmos 132 and Reconnaissance satellite

Satellite Catalog Number

The Satellite Catalog Number (SATCAT, also known as NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense) Catalog Number, NORAD ID, USSPACECOM object number or simply catalog number, among similar variants) is a sequential nine-digit number assigned by the United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) in the order of launch or discovery to all artificial objects in the orbits of Earth and those that left Earth's orbit.

See Kosmos 132 and Satellite Catalog Number

Soviet Union

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), commonly known as the Soviet Union, was a transcontinental country that spanned much of Eurasia from 1922 to 1991.

Vostok-2 (rocket)

The Vostok-2 (Восток meaning "East"), GRAU index 8A92 was an expendable carrier rocket used by the Soviet Union between 1962 and 1967.

See Kosmos 132 and Vostok-2 (rocket)

Zenit (satellite)

Zenit (Зени́т,, Zenith) was a series of military photoreconnaissance satellites launched by the Soviet Union between 1961 and 1994.
