Abstract
We give explicit formulas for conformally invariant operators with leading term an m-th power of Laplacian on the product of spheres with the natural pseudo-Riemannian product metric for all m.

Key words: conformally invariant operators; pseudo-Riemannian product of shperes; Fefferman-Graham ambient space; intertwining operator of the conformal group O(p+1,q+1).
