Hi Antonis : 1. What GIS system are you using? What other inputs can it take? 2. This satellite projection is a bit obscure, GDAL if doesnt support it. Are you sure that your GIS could read such a geotiff using that projection? 3. We dont have plans at the moment to extend our geotiff writing code, but there are some 3rd party software and developers who might.
