Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to steering a signal source towed behind a survey vessel. In one embodiment, a method includes towing a signal source and a streamer in a body of water. The signal source includes a steering mechanism. The method further includes determining a current heading of the streamer and, based on the determined heading, using the steering mechanism to adjust a heading of the signal source. In some embodiments, the method also includes determining a current heading of the signal source based on location information received from one or more location buoys coupled to the signal source, and, based on the determined heading of the signal source, using the steering mechanism to adjust the heading of the signal source. In one embodiment, the steering mechanism is used to align the heading of the signal source with the heading of the streamer.
