What does the 2nd moments equation in the discrete ordinates method mean?

In the discrete ordinates method (see above) there are three (0th, 1st, 2nd) moments equations to determine the quadrature sets. $s_i$ are the directions vectors and $w_i$ the corresponding weight.

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_i = 4\pi$

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_i s_i = 0$

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_i s_i s_i^T = \frac{4\pi}{3} I_3$

The zeroth equation makes sure the total weights equal the total solid sphere angle. The first equation is about the symmetry preference.

But I can not figure out what is the function of the last (2nd) equation? What does it do?
