This may be a little off topic, but does anyone know of high resolution public domain datasets that can be used as basis for the rendering of the Earth's surface? Normal, albedo, etc.? Do they even exist? I know Nasa has some but what I found was tiny (100k res images and such are really low res when we're talking about the entire planet).

There's also landsat 8 images, of similar resolution (10m/pixel for visible, lower in infrared bands). The revisit time depends on the latitude, but roughly you have a new image of the whole earth every week. Maybe that's too high res for your application?
