The motivation for this further decomposition is the ambiguity in orientation of the satellite body-centered frame when the Sun, Earth and satellite align. During these periods of alignment the ambiguity in the body-centered frame implies an ambiguity in the direction of the forces ... To compensate for this, the principal force, the force directed along the sun-satellite line, has been split off from the standard ROCK4 models and is applied separately in a clearly defined manner.
