We advocate for establishing key scientific priorities for the future of
Mercury exploration, including the development of specific science goals for a
landed mission. We support the Mercury science community in fostering closer
collaboration with ongoing and planned exoplanet investigations. The continued
exploration of Mercury should be conceived as a multi-mission,
multi-generational effort, and that the landed exploration of Mercury be a high
scientific priority in the coming decade.
