Again - what "unmanned missions" are you talking about?

I think you misunderstand Eric's question. Your imaginary
missions could get imaginary ranging equipment to the Moon,
but the stuff is there in *reality*.

There is no question or argument that robotic deployments couldn't
have deployed such laser ranging equipment as passive optical
reflectors, of which do not even have to be those of any singular
array.

On an open field of such a nearly coal dark surface, even a bright and
shiny zone of impacted aluminum would be sufficient for doing the
trick. It's not hard to even intentionally deploy a good enough
dusting of such corner cube reflective items just prior to the primary
impact, so that the artificial crater produced cloud of electrostatic
charged dust doesn't entirely coat those items.

Again, what missions are you talking about? Do you have
any...evidence...that this took place, or is your only evidence the
fact that you don't believe they were put there as advertised?
