She was appointed Director of the Curie Laboratory in the Radium Institute of the University of Paris, founded in 1914. She visited Poland in 1913 and was welcomed in Warsaw but the visit was mostly ignored by the Russian authorities.

Curie (rocket engine) after Polish scientist Marie Curie, is a small liquid-propellant rocket engine designed to release "small satellites from the constricting parameters of primary payload orbits and enables them to fully reach their potential, including faster deployment of small satellite constellations and better positioning for Earth imaging". It produces 120 N (27 lbf) of thrust and is 3D printed. The Electron third stage which is powered by the Curie is equipped with its own reaction control system, avionics, power, and communication systems. During the first flight where the Curie engine was tested, in January 2018, the Electron third stage coasted for roughly
