One of the challenges is to work up a camera that can capture the IR image fast enough. Cameras hung from balloons are not particularly stable. There was a guy, I think in a Civil Engineering masters program in Minnesota or Idaho (one of those cold states), who put together a servo-based stabilizer. But it added a lot of weight and required a much larger balloon....
