>so that the minimum distance is as large as possible
First, we use the geodesic distance. We call the minimum distance [math]r[/math], and for any of the N points, we add in the entire unit disk around it with radius r on the surface of the sphere. All these disks have empty intersection, and thus, we actually have the classical circle packing in a sphere problem.
I dunno anything about circle packings in a sphere, tho, good luck finding and reading articles.
