What is the scientific name for such maps of the "sweep of the globe" type? Is it possible to buy these somewhere, or at least download them in good quality for printing?

Answer 1

Gauss-Kruger projection

Answer 2

A spherical surface is not developable, we can talk about conditional development. But most likely you will search and find by "scan of a spherical surface." Or even "polyconic projection" you need. Here's a bit of theory to pull off the keywords.
There are big textures ( 6400x3200 ), there are even bigger ones ( 8000x4000 ), or even much bigger ones ( 10800x5400 ). But I would look at NASA.
You need to turn these pictures into an unwrap - UVLayout, Unwrap UVW. 3D people should have an answer, I think. Or read something in the spirit of vterrain.org , because. this is not the only way to map the watermelon peels of the world).
There is a handy software:

Take
another look here if the Earth turns out to be a boring planet and you want to rattle the entire solar system.
