The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, launched on 11 June 2008 by NASA, completed its on-orbit checkout in early August and has completed the first few months' of a planned 1-year sky survey in the 30 MeV-300 GeV energy range with the Large Area Telescope (LAT). Already the sensitivity of the observations is superior to that obtained by previous missions. In particular, the giant molecular clouds in the Orion/Monoceros region are revealed in greater detail than ever in high-energy gamma rays. The gamma-ray emission of the clouds is primarily from interactions of cosmic rays with interstellar gas. We report here a study of the resulting diffuse gamma-ray emission from the Orion/Monoceros region detected by the LAT and its interpretation in terms of tracers of interstellar matter and cosmic ray spectrum in the region.
