Let Ωd be the d-dimensional Drinfeld symmetric space for a finite extension F of ℚp. Let Σ1 be a geometrically connected component of the first Drinfeld covering of Ωd and let \mathbbF be the residue field of the unique degree d+1 unramified extension of F. We show that the natural homomorphism determined by the second Drinfeld covering from the group of characters of (\mathbbF, +) to Pic(Σ1)[p] is injective. In particular, Pic(Σ1)[p] ≠ 0. We also show that all vector bundles on Ω1 are trivial, which extends the classical result that Pic(Ω1) = 0.
