Accurate atmospheric parameters and chemical composition of stars play a vital role in characterizing physical parameters of exoplanetary systems and understanding of their formation. A full asteroseismic characterization of a star is also possible if its main atmospheric parameters are known. The NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) space telescope will play a very important role in searching of exoplanets around bright stars and stellar asteroseismic variability research. We have observed all 302 bright (V < 8 mag) and cooler than F5 spectral class stars in the northern TESS continuous viewing zone with a 1.65 m telescope at the Moletai Astronomical Observatory of Vilnius University and the high-resolution Vilnius University Echelle Spectrograph. We uniformly determined the main atmospheric parameters, ages, orbital parameters, velocity components, and precise abundances of 24 chemical species ( C(C2), N(CN), [O I], Na I, Mg I, Al I, Si I, Si II, Ca I, Ca II, Sc I, Sc II, Ti I, Ti II, V I, Cr I, Cr II, Mn I, Fe I, Fe II, Co I, Ni I, Cu I, and Zn I) for 277 slowly rotating single stars in the field. About 83 % of the sample stars exhibit the Mg/Si ratios greater than 1.0 and may potentially harbor rocky planets in their systems.
