The satellites already exist.  The idea behind drones and recon aircraft is
to  view events in real time.  That is what is screwy behind using a balloon.
It takes days if not weeks to float a ballon over the North Pole , and it's
path is victim to the weather patterns.  You would have to know of an event
well before floating a ballon with intent to capture something you couldn't
observe using satellite.
