It turns out that Deep Springs is not the only arid, dusty valley memorialized by a Nunn. Joseph Nunn, who was L.L. Nunn’s nephew and a CBTA member in the 1920s (and later DS Ranch manager) has the lunar crater “Nunn” named after him.
Joseph (1905-68) was an engineer who designed and manufactured satellite tracking cameras that were in service from the late 1950s until the early 90s. One of them provided tracking data on Sputnik.
