Hello,
Is there any way to project to product I get with VIIRS EDR(NDVI, LST, SURREF...), I tried to use gdal with vrt files, GMTCO and GITCO files that I get using the VIIRS SDR tool, that works sometime and sometime not.

Can you clarify, what are vrt files? What file format are they and where did you get them?

Hello,
I used the CSPP VIIRS EDR tool, that is used to convert the VIIRS Sensor Data Records(SDR) to Data Environment Records (EDR), by using this tool I had different products like NDVI, Surface Reflectance, Land Surface Temperature as hdf5 files, but they are not projected, so I used this two commands based on gdal so I can get them as geotiff images:

1.gdal_translate -of VRT HDF5:IVISR_npp_d20150419_t1400325_e1401567_b18007_c20161130133638402235_cspp_dev.h5://All_Data/VIIRS-Surf-Refl-IP_All/i1 SRi1.vrt

after that I open the VRT file and I add this lines(in bold) to METADATA:

NB: I get the GITCO files by suing the tool POLAR2GRID on SDR files.
