The SDSS-II Supernova Survey is one component of the 3-year SDSS extension, and will operate between September and November, 2005 through 2007. This time domain survey monitors 300 square degrees centered on the celestial equator (SDSS Stripe 82) between +/60 degrees in RA and +/1.25 degrees in DEC. Each of two strips are imaged every other night, weather and moon permitting. The goal of the survey is to fill the "redshift desert" (z between 0.1 and 0.35) between the low and high-redshift Type Ia supernovae samples with a homogeneous, well sampled, and well calibrated set of 5-passband lightcurves. Half-way through the survey, we have more than 200 spectroscopically confirmed Ia supernovae. We review here the technical and scientific benchmarks of the survey, and emphasize its potential to provide the first fully self-contained dark energy analysis using Type Ia supernovae.
