Information
axis angle of rotation to direction cosine matrix (Definition)

For now, without proof you can get the direction cosine matrix (DCM) from the axis angle of rotation by

⌊ A11   A12  A13 ⌋    ⌊   cos(α ) + e2(1 − cos(α))   e1e2(1 − cos(α)) + e3sin (α)  e1e3(1 − cos (α )) − e2sin (α ) ⌋
⌈                ⌉    ⌈             1                            2                                            ⌉
  A21   A22  A23   =    e1e2(1 − cos(α)) − e3sin(α)    cos(α) + e2(1 − cos(α))    e2e3(1 − cos(2α)) + e1sin (α )
  A31   A32  A33        e1e3(1 − cos(α)) + e2sin(α)  e2e3(1 − cos(α)) − e1sin (α)    cos(α) + e3(1 − cos(α))
