We present first results in a project using data from the ORFEUS FUV spectrometer in order to investigate the presence of H_2 and CO in interstellar gas of the LMC. We find H_2 absorption in the UV spectrum of the star LH 10:3120 in a galactic component (v ~ 0 km/s) and a LMC component at v ~ 270 km/s. The quantitative analysis of the absorption lines from the lower rotational states (J<5) leads to a total column density of N = 6.6710^18 cm^-2 for the molecular hydrogen in the LMC component. We herewith present the first detection of molecular hydrogen in absorption in the LMC based on measurements with the ORFEUS telescope.
