ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a sensor-carrier which is transported by a useful load projectile to a predetermined target region which may be inaccessible and is set down in said region. For the purpose of avoiding damaging the sensitive sensor, the latter is, together with the sensor support, compactly mounted in a folded retracted condition in a rugged housing and is automatically projected out of the housing in an erected, extended position when the sensor-carrier is set down and the housing is opened. The sensor support consists of a plurality of rotationally symmetrical support members which are strung on a steel cable in a manner similar to a pearl necklace. The steel cable is surrounded by a sheathing and is connected via a disc to a coil spring for tensioning the steel cable. The sensor-carrier serves to position the sensor in an elevated position over the ground surface for improving its sensing and transmitting capabilities.
