The booster isn’t recovered. We’ll actually it is but a back hoe is employed.
If you’re asking what type of parachute we use for supersonic deployment, it’s
a Kevlar hemisflow, ribbon drogue. They were originally designed to retard
nukes dropped above Mach 2. It’s the one on the right. The main canopy is in
the compartment below and staged using cutters. The second picture shows
transonic and supersonic versions. Main reefed canopy is 20 ft/dia.

Cool flight, but my question is about the booster recovery....
The video (~1:50) shows what looks like a pretty standard dual deploy parachute
system.
It there anything special about the drogue to be able to survive supersonic
atmospheric reentry?
