What if you were orbiting a planet always on the opposite side of where the Sun is?

Cosmic rays aren't caused by the sun. If anything the heliosphere shields us from some of them.

You'd have to pack nuclear reactors to provide power (though that's a given for any kind of serious activity in space anyway), and your scientific and operational capabilities would be limited/made difficult by the lack of sunlight.
