Once the preliminary surveys had been completed, groups of up to five scientists flew out in the onboard shuttle, deploying equipment and instruments at strategic spots.

The orbiters continued imaging and performing other scientific operations from orbit while the landers deployed instruments on the surface.

If geologists could deploy modern instruments along the San Andreas to collect better data, Dr. Sykes said, it might be possible to make mid-range predictions about earthquakes.

It is our express preference to deploy civil instruments first in the event of a threatening conflict situation.

The Sixth Framework Programme offers the opportunities to do this, especially by deploying new instruments so that, for example, multi-disciplinary teams within integrated projects can work together.

In the context of a broad security policy with crisis prevention as a priority, the European Union must be able to deploy several instruments at the same time.

I am convinced that the time for the European Union to grasp the nettle, to state its position and to deploy effective instruments to resolve this dispute is long overdue.

Shepard and Mitchell deployed and activated various scientific instruments and experiments and collected almost 100 pounds (45 kg) of lunar samples for return to earth.

Crew 1 also deployed weather-logging instruments along the western edge of Haynes Ridge.

From aeroplanes, too, researchers can deploy instruments that measure the Earth's magnetic field.
