4769 Castalia is a near-Earth object of the Apollo group of asteroids. It was discovered by w:Eleanor Helin at w:Palomar Observatory on 9 August 1969, and on 28 August 1989, Castalia was observed by radar at w:Arecibo Observatory, the first asteroid modeled by radar. Castalia was made available in Orbiter by Nighthawke's AsteroidPack v1.00 zip file.
