Mars Global Surveyor has taken an awesome image of another martian spacecraft, Mars Odyssey, as the two craft orbit Mars. The pair are on similar polar orbits around Mars and can pass within 15 km (9 miles) of each other. See the BBC report here.
There are three orbiting spacecraft around Mars.
Mars Express, the third spacecraft, has also been imaged. Check out both images, and more, at the MGS web site.
