An easy way to do that would be to:

1) describe your sphere with parametric equations:

x = sin(u)*sin(v)
y = cos(u)*sin(v)
z = cos(v)

2) feed the result into Ingo Janssen's "param.inc"

3) The resultin Surface object can be saved into a file, and the contents
are a mesh object.

For further information, refer to the following addresses:

Hope it helps. Have fun.
