No, the problem is that this file is not a GeoTiff file. There is no
geographic information inside it. You will probably find the information
you need to navigate the image elsewhere on this GOES site.

See these articles, for example:

http://www.idlcoyote.com/map_tips/goesmap.html
http://www.idlcoyote.com/map_tips/georeference.html

I think it is also possible to find GOES images that *are* GeoTiff
images, but not from the place where you got yours. :-)

Cheers,

David
