Starting 2025 July 05 UTC, the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) has begun mapping the accessible science validation footprint of the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Every night, this footprint is scheduled to be observed at 1-day cadence in g-band, r-band and i-band. Once the Rubin Observatory begins fully survey operations, ZTF plans to map the entire LSST survey footprint that is accessible from Palomar at 1-day cadence in three filters. All data and alerts from this program are public. Each night's planned public pointings can be obtained programmatically using the ZTF Schedule Reporting Service; see https://zwickytransientfacility.github.io/schedule_reporting_service/for details.
We thank the National Science Foundation for their continued support of ZTF (AST 2407588).
