R stars package and set dimensions to a NetCDF file

Related: GDAL and reprojecting a NetCDF file

Following above, I would like to reproject a NetCDF ( NOAA GOES-16 file ) using R stars package. However, I have been unsuccessful at the first step; I mean, unable to assign original CRS information to the file.

Parameters I want to assign were obtained by gdalinfo:

Proj.4 string = "+proj=geos +lon_0=-75 +h=35786023 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs  +sweep=x"
Origin = (-3627271.328111211769283,1583173.512170388596132)
Pixel Size = (1002.008657743770527,1002.008657743770527) 

My failed R code is:

library(stars)              # stars package 0.3-0

nc1= "./OR_ABI-L1b-RadC-M3C01_G16_s20190611802132_e20190611804505_c20190611804549.nc"
(nc1_s1= read_stars(nc1, along= c("DQF", "Rad")))
crs_proj4 = "+proj=geos +lon_0=-75 +h=35786023 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs  +sweep=x"


nc1_out = st_set_dimensions(nc1_s1,
                            offset= c(-3627271.328111211769283, 1583173.512170388596132),
                            delta= c(1002.008657743770527, 1002.008657743770527),
                            refsys= c(crs_proj4, crs_proj4)
                            )
nc1_out

As my code did not take effect, both nc1_s1 (input to st_set_dimensions()) and nc1_out (its output) show the same dimensions as below.

y    1 3000     NA    NA     NA    NA   NULL [y] 

How can I set dimensions to NetCDF using stars package?
