Persistence. A satellite in GEO is nigh on useless for high resolution persistent imaging. A satellite in polar is even more useless for persistence.

Added to that, there seems to be real-time tagging of people and objects.
Yea there is tagging of people, objects but that's software applied to high resolution images. Collecting those high resolution images is the real challenge here; seeing how pixels change from frame to frame once you have the imagery isn't (well, it used to be certainly but we've got better). You claim this is real-time... Are you sure this processing isn't applied after the fact?
