Abstract
A telescopic mast is disclosed including coaxial segments that can be controlled from a stowed position to a deployed position, a set of guide systems disposed between the adjacent segments, a set of systems for synchronising the segments during deployment and a system for driving the segments from the stowed position to the deployed position. Each segment includes the same determined number of angle sections secured together and extending over the entire length of the segment, the number of angle sections being at least three, each segment having a cross-section forming a polygon whose angle sections occupy the vertices of the polygon, each angle having a flat central portion bordered by two side wings, the angle sections of two adjacent segments facing one another. Each guide system is disposed between two adjacent segments being fastened on one of the angle sections of one of the two adjacent segments.
