The LSST design is driven by four science themes and desire to engage broad science community and general public in LSST data exploration. The current baseline design, with an 8.4m (6.7m effective) primary mirror and a 9.6 sq.deg. field of view, will allow about 10,000 square degrees of sky to be visited twice per night, with an effective depth of r=24.5 per visit, every three nights. The system is designed to yield high image quality as well as superb astrometric and photometric accuracy, and will regularly produce three classes of data products. Level 1 data products are generated continuously every observing night, including alerts to objects that have changed flux or position, that will be released within 60 seconds. Level 2 data products will be made available as annual Data Releases and will include images and measurements of positions, fluxes, and shapes, as well as variability information such as orbital parameters for moving objects. The LSST Data Management System will also facilitate the creation of Level 3 data products by science teams external to the project by providing suitable Applications Programming Interfaces (APIs), about 50 teraflops of user-dedicated processing capability and 12 petabytes of user-dedicated storage. The key aspect of these capabilities is that they will reside "next to" the LSST data, avoiding the latency associated with downloads.
