Scientific paper

Applying a new method of using the observational material to the orbit improvement, the orbit of comet Halley was corrected and the equations of its motion were integrated in two variants. It is shown that the nongravitational effects influence very much the results of orbit correction which they are the input data for numerical integration. It was found that the secular variation of a nongravitational parameter, if included to the process of orbit improvement, could considerably change the results of prediction of the past perihelion times of the comet.
