An autonomous spontaneous deployment deployable mast includes at least one elementary structural unit having a longitudinal deployment axis X and two platforms parallel to a plane YZ orthogonal to the axis X. The elementary structural unit includes N stages stacked above one another parallel to the longitudinal deployment axis X, where N is greater than 1. Each stage includes at least three longitudinal flexible tape-springs, the N stages being fixed to one another two by two by means of connecting platforms parallel to the plane YZ and two contiguous lower and upper stages being offset angularly relative to each other by rotation about the deployment axis X, the tape-springs of the lower stage being interleaved between the tape-springs of the upper stage.
