Towers and KM3NeT
NESTOR Collaboration has deployed one NESTOR module of the deep-sea
neutrino telescope at a depth of 4000m, 14km off the southwest coast of
Greece. The deployment site provides excellent environmental data. Power
and data were transferred through a 30 km electro-optical cable to the
shore laboratory. In this report, we describe briefly the detector and
the well-defined procedure for recovery and deployment of a detector
attached to the electro-optical cable and we depict the deployment of
several towers and complementary independent strings acoustically
connected to the towers. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
