Kosmos 132 (Russian : Космос 132 meaning Cosmos 132) or Zenit-2 No.46 was a Soviet, first generation, low resolution, optical film-return reconnaissance satellite launched in 1966. A Zenit-2 spacecraft, Kosmos 132 was the forty-third of eighty-one such satellites to be launched [4] [5] and had a mass of 4,730 kilograms (10,430 lb). [1]

Kosmos 132 was launched by a Vostok-2 rocket, serial number N15001-08, [6] flying from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The launch took place at 08:09 GMT on 19 November 1966, and following its successful arrival in orbit the spacecraft received its Kosmos designation, along with the International Designator 1966-106A and the Satellite Catalog Number 02599. [1]

Kosmos 132 was operated in a low Earth orbit, at an epoch of 19 November 1966, it had a perigee of 210 kilometres (130 mi), an apogee of 276 kilometres (171 mi), an inclination of 65.0°, and an orbital period of 89.3 minutes. [2] After spending eight days in orbit, Kosmos 132 was deorbited with its return capsule descending under parachute, landing at 07:12 GMT on 27 November 1966, and recovered by Soviet force. [3]
