We present a minimal model for the Universe evolution fully extracted from effective String Theory. This model is by its construction close to the standard cosmological evolution, and it is driven selfconsistently by the evolution of the string equation of state itself. The inflationary String Driven stage is able to reach enough inflation, describing a Big Bang like evolution for the metric. By linking this model to a minimal but well established observational information, (the transition times of the different cosmological epochs), we prove that it gives realistic predictions on early and current energy density and its results are compatible with General Relativity. Interestingly enough, the predicted current energy density is found Omega = 1 and a lower limit Omega \geq 4/9 is also found. The energy density at the exit of the inflationary stage also gives | Omega |_{inf}=1. This result shows an agreement with General Relativity (spatially flat metric gives critical energy density) within an inequivalent Non-Einstenian context (string low energy effective equations). The order of magnitude of the energy density-dilaton coupled term at the beginning of the radiation dominated stage agrees with the GUT scale. The predicted graviton spectrum is computed and analyzed without any free parameters. Peaks and asymptotic behaviours of the spectrum are a direct consequence of the dilaton involved and not only of the scale factor evolution. Drastic changes are found at high frequencies: the dilaton produces an increasing spectrum (in no string cosmologies the spectrum is decreasing). Without solving the known problems about higher order corrections and graceful exit of inflation, we find this model closer to the observational Universe than the current available string cosmology scenarii.
