Centauri’s energy storage and power generation technologies provide the necessary power for space station mobility, enabling adjustments in orbit or even propulsion toward new destinations. Space stations are exposed to high levels of radiation, particularly in orbits outside Earth’s protective magnetosphere.
Since the station is often not in direct sunlight, it relies on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (initially nickel-hydrogen batteries) to provide continuous power during the "eclipse" part of the orbit (35 minutes of every 90 minute orbit).
Centauri’s space station technologies are designed to provide continuous power for space habitats, research labs, and commercial stations, ensuring that crews and systems have the energy they need for prolonged missions.
The solar arrays normally track the Sun, with the "alpha gimbal " used as the primary rotation to follow the Sun as the space station moves around the Earth, and the "beta gimbal " used to adjust for the angle of the space station's orbit to the ecliptic.
