About COSMOS 1782
COSMOS 1782 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Sep 30, 1986 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.4 times a day), between 449 and 458 km up, on an orbit tilted 82.5° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° north and south.
The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.

Orbit height over the past year
Over the last 15 days its lowest point went from 451 km to 449 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
From Space-Track element sets, one point a day.
