Abstract: The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is executing the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) as its prime mission, producing a series of data releases over the ten-year survey. The LSST Science Pipelines Software will be used to create these data releases and to perform the nightly prompt processing and alert production. This paper provides an overview of the LSST Science Pipelines Software, describing the components and their integration into pipelines that generate science-ready data products. We do not provide detailed descriptions of individual algorithms, but instead aim to show how the pipeline software is constructed and the breadth of the system. Similarly, we do not provide details of specific data products and the associated file formats.
