PROTEUS development was initiated by CNES and ALCATEL end of 1996. The goal was to design and qualify a versatile small satellite bus, as well as a generic ground segment, able to accommodate various payloads for scientific or application missions. These objectives were fulfilled after the qualification and the successful launch of JASON 1, end of 2001. JASON 1 is a CNES/NASA mission, successor of TOPEX/POSEÏDON in the field of ocean radar altimetry. Following this milestone, a batch of 5 other platforms is now under contract at ALCATEL, in order to accommodate the 5 missions to be launched between 2004 and 2008 : CALIPSO, COROT, JASON 2, SMOS and TROPIQUES, in partnership between CNES and other agencies : NASA, ESA and ISRO. This paper will first describe PROTEUS architecture and present JASON 1 flight results depicting achieved performances. Then, an overview on the next missions to come will be addressed, with attention put on their own specificity and on the required versatility. Some modifications, decided in order to allow to accommodate larger payloads in terms of mass- inertia-power-achievable orbits than originally specified, will also be presented.
