I'm looking for an algorithm that would allow me to project
a point from a world database (using longitude and latitude)
to x,y coordinates using a satellite type projection.
Also the reverse projection (mapping x,y to longitude and latitude)
is required.

What I want to do is draw a satellite view of the globe and allow
it to rotate, in any direction- east-west, north-south, and so on.

Any source, references, pointers, etc, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
