I believe the ISS also orients its solar panels edge-on to prograde (direction of orbit) at night to minimize drag, so that’s another consideration of attitude control failure. Still second order to the radiators, though.

I love the fact that 'at night' is still a correct term but it's only 45 min for ISS.
