The year '''1967''' in spaceflight saw the most orbital launches of the 20th century and more than any other year until 2021, including that of the first [[Australia]]n satellite, [[WRESAT]], which was launched from the [[Woomera Test Range]] atop an American [[Sparta (rocket)|Sparta]] rocket. The United States [[National Space Science Data Center]] catalogued 172 spacecraft placed into orbit by launches which occurred in 1967.<ref>{{cite web |title=Spacecraft Query Results |url=http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftSearch.do?launchDate=1967&discipline=All |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302231640/http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftSearch.do?launchDate=1967&discipline=All |url-status=dead |archive-date=2 March 2012 |work=Master Catalog Search |publisher=NASA NSSDC |access-date=30 May 2010}}</ref>

The year saw both setbacks and advances for the [[United States]] [[Apollo program]]me. Three astronauts; [[Gus Grissom|Virgil "Gus" Grissom]], [[Ed White (astronaut)|Ed White]] and [[Roger B. Chaffee]], were killed in a fire aboard the [[Apollo 1|AS-204]] spacecraft at [[Cape Canaveral Air Force Station|Cape Kennedy]] [[Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 34|Launch Complex 34]] on 27 January whilst rehearsing the launch. On 20 October the [[Saturn V]] rocket made its [[Apollo 4|maiden flight]].
