Later this year, the European Space Agency's latest space freighter, "Johannes Kepler", will be launched into space. This Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) will dock with the International Space Station to supply it with food, water, fuel and equipment. As the spacecraft nears completion, the BBC's Jonathan Amos heads to the EADS Astrium clean-room in Bremen, Germany, to take a look at the space giant.
