While the likelyhood of a Mercury Lander mission is very low, I was wondering if any planning/studies have been done on such a project?

Well, I know that, John. I presumed that Richard Trigaux (like myself) was thinking about a surface reflector with an orbiter bouncing lidar off it -- just as the libration experiment on the Mars Netlanders would have involved a radio receiver on a Mars orbiter. But I still don't know why such surface laser reflectors (or radar reflectors) couldn't be used in association with an orbiter for Mercury libration measurements.
