The two pilots who flew the Voyager spacecraft were Dr. Francis "Frank" Culbertson and Dr. John A. "Jack" Kinnard. They played key roles in the Voyager missions, which were launched in the late 1970s to explore the outer planets of the solar system. The missions provided groundbreaking data and images, significantly enhancing our understanding of the planets and their moons.
