Question
Scope
consists of construction of a working prototype of the Mars Habitat to include the new features (cameras) recently added to the project. The working prototype should include the console and a console for the simulator as described in the project descriptions. The camera images may be hard coded images for the prototype. This means that a picture may be displayed.

Final project will consists of delivery of:
The plan for development of the project, including the following:
A COCOMO estimate of the effort and time required for the development, including the prior work
Simulator
Simulator must indicate operator inputs for camera movement and zoom. One indication (text message) per second is acceptable where operator is holding down a movement or focus button.
Camera controls North Facing External Habitat Internal Entrance Camera Selection South Facing External No SelectionExplanation / Answer
Ok. What you need here is called COCOMO Model in the field of Software Engineering.
The COCOMO model helps to estimate the project parameters approximately. The basic COCOMO estimation model is given by the following expressions:
Effort (in Person-Months) = a * (KLOC) b
Tdev (in Months) = 2.5 * (Effort) c
where
The value of the constants a, b, c are given below. These values also depend on the type of software project i.e. whether it is organic, semi-detached or embedded in nature.
Looking at the description of your project, it seems to be an embedded project.
So, you can estimate the effort and time required for development as follows:
Effort (in Person-Months) = 3.6 * (KLOC) 1.2
Tdev (in Months) = 2.5 * (Effort) 0.32
Hence, you need to have an estimate of the lines of code in the project, and you can estimate the effort and time required for the development.
