ASPIRE

ASPIRE (for Airborne Stabilized Platform for Infrared Experiments) is an instrument developed by the SAO to stabilize observations from airplanes despite vibration. The mechanism is intended to be used with Air-SPEC while observing the Solar corona during the December 4, 2020 eclipse, and later with a future spectropolarimeter (CORSAIR, for Coronal Spectropolarimeter for Airborne Infrared Research) during the April 8, 2024 eclipse.

Note that there was a renaming: the ASPIRE acronym was earlier for Airborne Spectro-Polarization Infrared Experiment, seemingly now what is called CORSAIR.

Note that the acronyms ASPIRE and CORSAIR are also used for other astronomy-related initiatives.
