The classical Meshcherskij equation was integrated for the case of the orbital motion of a comet as a point with variable mass taking two non-gravitational effects into account: the "parashute" effect (solar radiation pressure in the nucleus-tail system) and the reactive acceleration effect (gas ejection from the cometary nucleus). The solution of this equation allows to estimate the contribution of these effects to the secular perturbations in orbital elements and can be useful for the prediction of orbital motions of comets.
