I want to project many raster files in a folder (but they appear in the content of my ArcGIS project). Here is the screenshot.

These raster files have an unknown coordinate system. When I try to project them manually, the input and output coordinate system is shown below. And I have successfully project several raster files manually.

As you can see, the input and output coordinate system is the same "GCS_WGS_1984". I can manually project these raster files but want to find how to accomplish this using python. Also, after projecting, how to make sure they will appear in my gdb project for future use.
I tried to use the following code but it did not work.
import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = r"D:STARinfo_data_test"
#this is the folder where raster files are
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True #overwrite the exsiting files
rasterfiles = list(set(arcpy.ListDatasets("b*","Raster")))
#list all the raster files inside the folder with name starting "b"
base = "D:/STAR/assignment/assignment7/Zhenyu_Assign7_GISpro/Zhenyu_Assign7_GISpro.gdb/b90w90r65s400Pro"
#using the exsiting projected raster file as base
out_coor_system = arcpy.Describe(base).spatialReference
#get the coordinate system of this base raster file
for raster in rasterfiles:
outraster = raster + "Pro"
arcpy.ProjectRaster_management(raster,outraster,base)
I do not know how to project these raster files and then put them into my gdb project for future use.

Why are you projecting to the same geographic coordinate system (i.e.GCS_WGS_84toGCS_WGS_84)?

If the coordinate system is unknown you should be using Define Projection, not Project Raster. How do you know it is unknown, have you right-clicked the layer - Properties - Source - Spatial reference?

Thanks for replying. I got the data from other researchers and they told me the coordinate system is GCS_WGS_1984. But these rasters could not match with layers with GCS_WGS1984. Hence, I try to project them to GCS_WGS1984 and find the projected ones can match with other layers with GCS_WGS1984. So, in order to do future work, I decided to project all rasters to this coordinate system. @BERA

@Aaron, thanks for replying too. As the comments I posted, the coordinate system of rasters can not match with other layers with same coordinate system. However, after projecting, projected ones can match with layers with GCS_WGS_1984. That is why I want to project to the same coordinate system.
