The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Objects Survey ( MANOS ) aims to physically characterize sub-km Near-Earth Objects ( NEOs ) .
We report first photometric results from the survey which began in August , 2013 .
Photometric observations were performed using 1 m to 4 m class telescopes around the world .
We present rotational periods and lightcurve amplitudes for 86 sub-km NEOs , though in some cases , only lower limits are provided .
Our main goal is to obtain lightcurves for small NEOs ( typically , sub-km objects ) and estimate their rotational periods , lightcurve amplitudes , and shapes .
These properties are used for statistical study to constrain overall properties of the NEO population .
A weak correlation seems to indicate that smaller objects are more spherical than the larger ones .
We also report 7 NEOs that are fully characterized ( lightcurve and visible spectra ) as the most suitable candidates for a future human or robotic mission .
Viable mission targets are objects fully characterized , with a \Delta v ^ { NHATS } \leq 12 km s ^ { -1 } , and a rotational period P > 1 h. Assuming a similar rate of object characterization as reported in this paper , approximately 1,230 NEOs need to be characterized in order to find 100 viable mission targets .
