A voltage measurement apparatus for a spacecraft thruster includes a thruster interface having a platform and at least one spacer element configured to attach the platform to the thruster. At least one probe is mounted to the thruster interface with the probe configured to engage an anode assembly of the thruster when the thruster interface is attached to the thruster. The apparatus also includes voltage metering circuitry coupled to the at least one probe, the voltage metering circuitry configured to be powered by the spacecraft thruster when the spacecraft thruster is powered on.
