A system is described comprising a first controller configured to control a radial arm. The system further comprises a second controller configured to control a probe apparatus motor. The radial arm is configured to move a probe apparatus in a horizontal direction across a horizontal cross-section of a plasma plume generated by a thruster, in response to receiving a first control signal from the first controller. The probe apparatus motor is configured to move a probe, coupled to the probe apparatus, in a vertical direction across a vertical cross-section of the plasm plume, in response to receiving a second control signal from the second controller. And the probe is configured to detect an ion beam current density corresponding to the thruster, based at least in part on a movement of the probe apparatus in the horizontal direction and a movement of the probe in the vertical direction.
