When you're not near your station you can still do most of the actions - managing ships, calling them in for backup, starting research missions or exploration missions, sending crew home or just emergency warping your fleet home. The interface is all there and the features are almost all complete.

Research projects simply take one ship and use it to research modules and upgrades. Larger ships speed up research since you can place more crew towards the project. So far the rewards are random, but you are guaranteed an item you haven't unlocked yet.
Exploration missions are a different beast, you essentially send a fleet to do what the player does. They might come back with additional crew, might lose or gain some ships, discover new technology, etc... It's essentially like simulating a second coop player. The risk is real but the rewards are much higher than the relatively safe research projects.
