Abstract
Presents the simulator of performances of the Poseidon-2 altimeter embarked onboard JASON-1 oceanographic mission to be launched during 2001. This simulator is a key tool used during the whole life of the Poseidon-2 altimeter, from feasibility studies, definitions, specifications and development phases to "expertise" tasks on the behavior of the instrument during the operating phase. It has been developed by Centre National d\´Etudes Spatiales and Collecte Localisation Satellites teams
