Add heating of a +Y or -Y face of a spacecraft component due to off-nominal roll. The
heating is proportional to the projection of the sun on body +Y axis (which is a value
from -1 to 1). There are two parameters P_plus_y and P_minus_y. For sun on
the +Y side the P_plus_y parameter is used, and likewise for sun on -Y. For
example for +Y sun:
