$VOYG: Via Astrobotic, Voyager will become a CLPS prime contractor.
Astrobotic was one of the original nine companies selected by NASA in November 2018 for the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program catalog.

Later this year, Astrobotic’s Griffin Mission One (Griffin-1) will help demonstrate commercial lunar landing and mobility capabilities, deliver NASA and international partner payloads to the lunar South Pole region, and support the development of technologies needed for future surface operations on the Moon.
