I think that after learning the Satellites tech, spy missions should include doing recon missions anywhere on the map.
But before this, as someone else has mentioned elsewhere, a spy plane should be introduced to the game. Something like a Blackbird spy plane that has stealth technology and can perform only recon missions anywhere on the map. The spy plane can be available after Stealth but made obsolete when Satellites is learned. A non-stealth spy plane can be introduce earlier in the game too, like the U2, that can do recon missions anywhere on the map but would have a good possibility of getting shot down.
Having stealth technology would still give the Blackbird unit a very small chance of being intercepted, while satellite reconnaissance would have a less chance of success than spy plane reconnaissance but would have no risk to loss of unit life or cause any grounds for having war declared on that civ.
