Default Blue Origins BE-3 Engine

....is being tested by NASA. Does anyone know any details of the
engine, like fuel, oxidizer, expected thrust?

Maybe some useful info can be gleaned from this:

and this (page 8):

Thanks for the info. The propellant is not specified for the
Propulsion Module 2 (PM2) but the specific impulse is given as 252
seconds.
Does that imply hydrogen peroxide & kerosene? But the document is
from May 2011. I think it might be referring to an engine different
from the BE-3.
