As the Wiki page maxexter links to says, "Note: These actions must be completed in the order they occur. Skipping certain actions and coming back to do them later will result in Kirrahe's death."

Either you already destroyed it from a distance or there's a glitch; if it is a glitch you can't move forward and come back later to get it because it will be too late.

There are, I think, only three options:

• Move forward and hope for the best (Kirrahe will be in the hangar bay to the left of the elevator if he survived).
• Go to a prior save and begin again.
• If playing on PC edit your ME2 or ME3 save using Gibbed Save Game Editor so that Karrahe is alive.

It looks like the Gibbed Save Game Editor is probably your best bet.  I've downloaded it and taken a peek (it turns out I missed a lot by not not going back to the Citadel and having one more conversation with people).  I haven't figured out how to precisely correct the issue that started this whole discussion.  It appears you download it, import your character, run Gibbed, plot tab, ME1 tab, Scroll down to Virmire, then check the boxes about assisting Kirrahe's team.  

But I'll admit that I'm not completely sure.  There's a lot in the list, and it could be I missed something.
