This is just my guess, but I’d say it’s probably too expensive to get one there and it wouldn’t be worth it. There’s not a whole lot interesting to study on it. Funny enough, the surface of Venus (465°C) is hotter than the surface of Mercury (427°C), and we’ve visited and landed a probe (several, actually) there. They even took some pictures. Venus is a lot more interesting though. It has an atmosphere and weather. Mercury is just a barren rock.
