From the same spot:

http://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/text/goesfaq.html#goesnav
and
http://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/text/goesfaq.html#tiffcomment

The former presents more nav info via a link:
http://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/text/goestechnotes.html#navigation

From my experience, the GOES data is typically delivered as a "flat" file that replicates
how the instruments actual record the data (e.g. raster scan of the earth disk).

What that translates into wrt a map projection, I have no idea. I don't think GOES data
works in that sort or realm (but I haven't used GOES data directly for about a decade, so
what the hell would I know! :o)

cheers,
