Thanks to the efforts of Lee McLamb, EVP AMSAT, we discovered a new opportunity to get our communications packages and antennas on board Intelsat launches.

Is this for a "piggyback" communication package attached to a larger satellite, or a secondary payload that deploys separately?

Intelsat offers both! We are asking for Piggy back for us and will ask for secondary payload should it be required for P3E.
We just have to face some very very hard realities. There has not been a high earth orbit bird from us for years because of the lack of launches available to us. We have to be creative to get them launched. We are attempting to do exactly that. In our case, what makes us attractive to funding is piggyback.
