Summary:An example system for deploying seismic sensor stations includes a cable storage device configured to deploy a rope, and a plurality of seismic sensor stations each having a respective coupling mechanism. The respective coupling mechanism of a seismic sensor station of the plurality of seismic sensor stations is configurable in a first position such that the rope is free to deploy through or by the seismic sensor station, and is configurable in a second position such that the rope is gripped to attach the seismic sensor station to the rope for deployment. The example system further includes a deployment control system configured to selectively cause the respective coupling mechanism of each of the plurality of seismic sensor stations to grip the rope.
