The last time I used geo-tiff's (several years ago), the georeferencing
for a tiff file was stored in what was called a "world file." A world
file is a plain text file that accompanies a regular tif image, and it
had the extension *.tfw . So, if you had a tiff file named
satellite_image.tif, there would be an accompanying file named
satellite_image.tfw. Since you said you already have the tiff file,
and since the world file is just a plain text file, I'd look up on the
web what the format for the world file is, and just write that out like
you would any other text file. *Unless* they've changed the file
formats for geo-tiffs :)

Hope that helps,
Jeff
