This seems like magic. Where are the semi-major and minor axis parameters? Or are these IFOV footprints from MODIS?

You are referring to

the notebook needs more documentation so I will leave this ticket open until I edit the notebook accordingly

Those are approximations for the MODIS IFOVs. The length of the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis are calculated from the scan angle; their orientation from their azimuth. The lengths are fitted to parameters in the MODIS geolocation ATBD:
