Abstract
Disclosed is a geophysical data acquisition system. The system comprises a frame assembly; a set of ground engaging members connected to the frame assembly, and adapted to move the frame assembly along the ground surface; and a carrier assembly carried by the frame assembly, the carrier assembly having one or more seismic source subsystems and a drive mechanism adapted to move each of the one or more seismic source subsystems through a plurality of positions between a lowered position and a raised position and forward and rearward positions with respect to the frame assembly. The movement of each of the one or more seismic source subsystems being in coordination with the movement of the frame assembly, such that each of the one or more seismic source subsystems move to the lowered position when the frame assembly approaches one or more data acquisition points on the ground surface.
