Maximum height is 36 degrees. I agree that it wont happen like that Tristan. Running quicksat shows that the shadow is entered around 22:17UT when it is above horizon for brussels .If you run heavens above for the ISS and Brussels and looks at the ground track it also shows the same behaviour. I also ran the visible pass option of trakstar and got the same effect. There was however at least a span of 30 seconds in shadow entry time, with same TLE!
