Original Note:
The Space based Infra-Red System (SBIRS) from the video does not at all involve "high resolution video". SBIRS is in high orbits (HEO and GEO), too high to get detailed imagery. The purpose of the system is quite different: locate the heat signatures of missile launches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-Based_Infrared_System
