[edit] Why are you using LH2/LOX for the Propulsion Module engine?

LH2/LOX has the highest specific impulse of any common liquid rocket propellants, resulting in a lower fueled mass for the PM. This is important to ensure that the heaviest configurations of the CLLARE hardware can fit on a Falcon 9 launch vehicle.
