The ARO direct-image-request feature lets authorized amateur radio operators request satellite images by transmitting directly to the OBC during a pass, using a pre-shared key. Before that can work, the shared C interface (and its Python ctypes mirror) needs new command IDs, data structures, and telemetry IDs so both the ground station and the satellite agree on the wire format.
