I was part of the indiegogo campaign to get the lantern [1] off the ground. I've heard very few updates from them since the campaign ended; here's hoping they still pull it off!

Thanks for your support! We are very much still active in the development of Lantern (the physical satellite data receiver). We've sent about 12 updates regarding the campaign; we're a little uneasy about flooding inboxes with campaign updates. You can always read about the latest here: http://blog.outernet.is/

That looks like a different project of the same name. The lantern in this post is a desktop app that bypasses site blockers.

Ahh, you appear to be completely correct! The project I was referring to had a software component as well (which is on GitHub); I mistakenly associated the two. My apologies!

I will leave my GP comment here in case people find the other project interesting; but they do appear to be unrelated. Thanks for clearing that up :D
