Heiss was awarded a National aeronautics and space administration Public service award in 1981 for outstand ing contributions to the economic understanding of the shuttle program. He directed an economic study of the reusable spaceship in the Early 1970s and later formed a company that unsuccessfully sought shuttle marketing rights in 1982 in return for financing a fifth shuttle.
