# Cable-driven telescopic boom

## Abstract

A cable-driven telescopic boom with several boom segments repositionable between stowed positions and deployed positions. The boom includes multiple spaced apart and separate cables that engage pulleys connected to each boom segment. A drive system can be used to apply tension to the cables to reconfigure the boom from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration.
