ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a recoverable tethered platform system and to a tethered platform for use therewith. One end of a tether line is retained at a surface station while the majority of the line is initially mounted on a mandrel in the platform and is drawn from this mandrel as the platform descends. This permits more rapid descent of a platform since there are substantially no line drag forces to overcome during descent. During recovery, the line can be wrapped on a mandrel which is the same as the mandrel in the platform and this rewound mandrel may then be substituted for the empty mandrel in the platform for redeployment.
