A mechanical system, consisting of a non-variable rigid body (a carrier) and a subsystem, the configuration and composition of which may vary with time (the motion of its elements with respect to the carrier is specified), is considered. The system moves in a uniform gravitational field around a fixed point of the carrier. Obtained are conditions for the existence of the integral, which is a generalization of the kinetic moment projection integral in the case of variable mass. The system is reduced to an autonomous type.
