Apsis
An apsis is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body.
Baikonur Cosmodrome
The Baikonur Cosmodrome is a spaceport operated by Russia within Kazakhstan.

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.

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.

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.

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.
