The invention relates to a telescopic mast (100) comprising: • - coaxial segments (101_1,..., 101_N) that can be controlled from a stowed position to a deployed position, • - a set of guide systems (104, 104P) arranged between the adjacent segments, • - a set of systems for synchronising the segments during deployment and • - a system for driving (107) the segments from the stowed position to the deployed position. According to the invention, each segment is composed of the same determined number of angle sections (102) rigidly attached to each other and extending along the entire length of the segment (101), the number of angle sections (102) being at least three, each segment (101) having a cross section forming a polygon the angle sections (102) of which occupy the vertices, each angle section (102) comprising a flat central portion (20) bordered by two side wings (21), the angle sections of two adjacent segments facing one another, each guide system arranged between two adjacent segments being attached to one of the angle sections of one of the two adjacent segments and comprising rollers that roll on the central portion of the opposite angle section belonging to the other of the two adjacent segments.
