Efficient use of the data produced by the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will require comprehensive a priori knowledge of the impact of telescope design and implementation on the resulting catalogs and images. This includes gross characteristics like per band detection limits (coadded and single frame), as well as fine grained information such as point spread function behavior as a function of focal plane position and limits on the ability of the imaging system and reduction pipelines to accurately determine galaxy shapes. The LSST Image Simulation group is leading the effort to simulate the LSST system from end-to-end to high fidelity. Input catalogs including source variability, moving objects, and cosmological transients are matched to the LSST survey depth of r=28. These catalogs can be used to produce simulated images for excersizing the data reduction pipelines as well as simulated catalogs for calibration, moving object detection, and probing proposed science questions. We present the progress toward end-to-end simulation of the LSST system.
