In the low-energy theory of four-dimensional superstrings the spontaneous breakdown of a pseudo-anomalous U(1) can trigger (but not necessarily) the formation of global and/or local cosmic strings. When cosmic strings are formed, supersymmetry is broken inside the string cores with a positive cosmological constant and an exponential growth of the cosmic scale factor. Strings are conformally stretched with the inflationary expansion, never enter the physics horizon and can have no observable (e.g. optical) effects. Off-string regions are in a (radiation-dominated) FRW universe. Most of our observable universe would still be inflating today unless a late (conventional) period of inflation transforms an off-string region into our present universe. The required amount of inflation coincides with the one needed to solve the usual flatness and horizon problems of the standard cosmological model. We consider, as an example, the chaotic inflation associated with the low-energy breaking (~1 TeV) of supersymmetry.
