For a Shuttle launch at 19:51 UTC on 13-JUL-05 your location in NE Belgium would see the Shuttle pass about halfway between Arcturus and Jupiter/Moon (the two are close that evening) about 21 min after liftoff. The exact position and timing would depend on the actual height of the ascent orbit (which I don't know exactly). Anyway, with the Sun at -3.6° the sky should be dark enough for you to see it without problems (if it's clear enough).
