We present first results obtained from our spectroscopic survey of near-Earth objects (NEOSS), comprising a total of 102 visible and near-infrared spectra of asteroids. Visible data have been recorded with the 2.5-m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT), while near-infrared spectra have been taken at 3.5-m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, both telescopes located at Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, in La Palma (Canary Islands). We perform a raw taxonomical classification of our objects and a first mineralogical analysis using the classical method of spectral parametrization. A statistical analysis of slope distributions is also done for those objects having featureless spectra.
