They have but they are very large.
This one is tiny, about the size of a cookie, and they hit it from 60 miles above................

I’ve seen radio bounced off those things. Well, you can’t see radio waves. I witnessed a demonstration of it.

I remember clearly what we were told when I was a teenager.
We were supposed to have sprawling cities in domes on the Moon and Mars.

Only 2 inches, or 5 centimeters, wide, NASA's Laser Retroreflector Array has eight quartz-corner-cube prisms set into a dome-shaped aluminum frame.
This configuration allows the device to reflect light coming in from any direction back to its source. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center

the Apollo ones were indeed much bigger than a cookie, but they still could get the same results.
